Purdue freshman S Cory Trice Jr. has created an amazing goal chart for academic, athletic success
Setting goals is an important part of college life. It’s even more important as a student-athlete. Purdue freshman Cory Trice Jr. takes it very seriously, and it’s paying off.
On Sunday morning, Chris Jung of The Sporting Edge shared an image of a goal chart that Trice has creating. It’s not only a goal chart for himself, but one he has to honor and remember his father.
Trice’s goal chart consists of three categories: academic, camp and in-season. Some of his goals include maintaining a 3.0 grade point average in the classroom; earning a starting spot in summer camp and finish the year with three interceptions or more.
Saturday, Trice recorded two interceptions against Maryland in a 40-14 win, one of which was a game-changing pick-six at the end of the first half. Below is a look at the chart:
The success of Cory Trice on the big stage is not a fluke. It’s the product of setting goals, staying humble and outworking everyone else. We should all strive to have this type of approach. Keep it up, Cory. You make all of us, including your Dad, very proud. pic.twitter.com/92CmsUL5pj

Trice has had a great start to the season for Purdue, totaling 15 tackles, a stop for loss, two interceptions and a pass break-up. He’s played in all six of the Boilermakers’ games so far.
There’s no question that this goal chart has helped Trice be successful early in his collegiate career at Purdue.
