9-Square Goal Matrix
Stop Juggling. Start Winning. Track All Your Goals in One Interface.
The same goal system Shohei Ohtani used at 15 — now built into Google Sheets.
When Ohtani was a high school freshman in Japan, he filled out a 3×3 goal grid with one central mission surrounded by 8 supporting pillars — each broken down into specific daily actions. His central goal: be drafted #1 by a professional baseball team. His 8 pillars: Body, Control, Sharpness, Speed, Pitch Variance, Personality, Mental Toughness, and Luck. Every pillar had 8 daily behaviors attached to it.
That chart is now one of the most studied goal-setting tools in the world. It's called the Mandala Chart. And it's the exact framework this template is built on.
Research from Dominican University found that people who write down their goals and track their weekly progress are 42% more likely to achieve them than people who don't. This template gives you both — your goals written down in a structured system, and a daily tracking method that scores your execution automatically every single week.
