The School of Greatness · Stop Setting Goals. They're Creating Your Ceiling | Emmanuel Acho · 29 May 2026 podcast

Crazy, because I know we're told for so long, set a goal, write it down, live by it.

True story, y'all, maybe one of the most depressing moments of my life.

After my junior year playing football at the University of Texas, Texas a top flight college football program at the time, I submitted my name to go to the NFL draft.

I wanted to go professionally after three years.

But I got back from the NFL a report, Emmanuel, you will not be drafted in rounds one through three.

You will be drafted in rounds four through seven.

There are seven total rounds in the NFL draft for those watching and eventually listening.

I'm not going in the fourth through seventh round.

I'll come back for my senior year.

Oh, so junior year.

Junior year.

Gotcha.

So what I said was this.

I took that sheet of paper that said, Emmanuel, you won't be drafted in rounds one through three.

And I highlighted that line, you won't be drafted in rounds one through three.

And I hung it above my bed.

And I put one of those little sticks through the wall and the paper in my bed.

I looked at it every morning I woke up and every night before I went to sleep.

You know what they say about goals.

Look at them.
