How this works
This is yours. Nobody reads it unless you decide to share it. Write honestly — write like nobody's watching, because nobody is.
- Your answers save automatically on this computer as you type. You can close the tab and come back — your work will be here.
- When you're done, click "Save" at the top or bottom of this page. That downloads a copy to your computer that you can keep, reopen, or attach to an email.
- Send it to your IDP coach using the buttons at the bottom of this page.
- Come back to it every month on Mike's Mondays. This is a living document, not a one-time worksheet.
Heads up: your answers save to this specific computer and browser. If you start on a laptop, finish on that laptop.
01
Character · Behaviors · Skills
Myself
Before you can decide where you're going, you have to be honest about who you are right now. This section is just you and the page. Nobody else sees it unless you choose to share it.
01
Think of a moment you were proud of who you were — not what you did, but how you were. What were you doing? What did you show?
02
Who's someone you admire — a player, a teammate, a coach, a family member? What specifically about their character do you want in yours?
03
What are 2-3 character traits or skills you already have that you're proud of? Be specific — not "hard worker," but how you're a hard worker.
04
What are 2-3 character traits or behaviors you know you're missing right now or want to improve — the ones that, if you had them, would change everything?Hinge
Push past "I need to be faster." Go deeper.
05
When you're at your worst — tired, frustrated, embarrassed — who do you become? Be honest.
06
A year from now, what's one behavior you want to be known for that you're not known for yet?
07
In one sentence — who am I trying to become as a player and as a person?
Pair Share (10 min): Trade your answers to Question 04 and Question 07 with your partner. Your job as a listener is not to fix — just to ask "why that one?"
Group Share (5 min): One volunteer per pod shares the single most surprising thing their partner said.

The People, Rhythms & Standards Around Me
My Environment
You just wrote about who you are. Now — what has to be around you for that person to actually show up? And because you're not just a passenger here, what do you owe the environment in return?
01
Describe a team, a group, or a moment where you were at your absolute best. What was different about the people around you? What were they doing?
02
Think of a time an environment brought out your worst. What was present, or missing, that made it that way?
03
Look around at COE right now. What do you need from your teammates, your coaches, and this program to become the player and person you described in Section 01?
Be specific — not "support," but what does support look like on a Tuesday morning training when you don't feel it?
04
Now flip it — what do your teammates need from you? What do you bring, or fail to bring, that shapes the environment for everyone else?Hinge
This is the moment you become an author of the environment instead of just a consumer of it.
05
Who around you right now pushes you to level up? Who lets you settle? You don't have to share names — just be honest with the page.
06
For our COE environment to be perfect for developing world-class players, what would a normal training day look, sound, and feel like? Walk through it: arrival, warm-up, session, cool-down, locker room.
07
In one sentence — what environment do I need to become who I said I want to become, and what am I personally going to contribute to it?
Pair Share (10 min): Trade your answer to Question 04 with your partner. This is the accountability trade — you now know one thing your partner is committing to bring to the environment. You're each other's witness.
Group Share (5 min): Each pod shares one non-negotiable that came up — something the whole group agrees has to be present in our environment this year.

Where I'm Going · How I'll Be Remembered
My Vision
You've written about who you are and what you need around you. This last section is where those two answers go. If Section 01 is the engine and Section 02 is the fuel, this is the destination.
01
What's the biggest thing you want to achieve — in soccer, in school, in life? Write it here, on this page, where you'll see it every month.Hinge
This becomes the center of your Harada Grid.
02
Five years from now, what do you want a teammate and coach to say about you when you're not in the room? Not stats — who you were.
03
Ten years from now, what stage are you playing on? Describe it — the stadium, the crowd, the moment. Be specific enough that you can see it.
This is where our mission lives. The biggest stages in the world. Which one is yours?
04
Look back at Section 01 and Section 02. In one paragraph — how does the character you're building and the environment you're helping create get you to the vision you just described? Connect all three.
Pair Share (5 min): Read your answer to Question 04 out loud to your partner. They read theirs back. No commentary. This is a witness moment.
Group Share (3 min): One volunteer per pod reads their Question 04 to the group — but only if they want to. Vision statements are personal.

From Vision to Plan
The Harada Grid
Your answer to Section 03, Question 01 goes in the center — your ultimate goal. Around it, name the eight things that have to be true for that goal to happen. Then for each of those eight, name eight concrete actions you'll take. That's 64 things you can do this year that move you toward what you wrote.
Center Your ultimate goal — from Section 03, Question 01.
Ring 1 (shaded) The eight things that have to be true for the goal to happen. Consider: character, technical, physical, mental, environment, education, pro pathway, relationships.
Ring 2 For each supporting goal, eight concrete actions — small enough to do this month.
These are references, not answers. Use a line if it fits you. Ignore the rest. Your grid should look like your life, not someone else's.
Come back to the grid every month. Some actions will become automatic. Some will stop making sense. Add, revise, cross out. The grid is a living plan — not a snapshot.
When you're finished
Your answers save on this computer as you type. To keep a copy or send it to your IDP coach, use the options below — start with the first one.
1
Save a copy you can keep
Pick either format. PDF looks like the page you filled in; the text file is smaller and easier to email.
On the print screen, change the destination to Save as PDF (Mac: the PDF menu at the bottom left) and save it somewhere you'll find it again.
2
Send it to your IDP coach
The email button downloads your file and opens a blank email to your coach — you just attach the file it saved. Or use Copy All Answers and paste everything straight into an email yourself.
