As we flip the calendar to 2025, let’s take a look at what some of Dallas’ top athletes might want to focus on in the coming year. They’ve had their ups and downs in 2024, but with a new year comes new opportunities.

Dak Prescott has had a rollercoaster year both on and off the field. With a new baby on the way and a busy season ahead, he might want to consider setting aside more quality time with his family. Being a professional athlete can be demanding, but balancing work and family life is crucial.

Luka Doncic is known for his fiery temper on the court. Maybe it’s time for him to explore some anger management techniques. The NBA star has a reputation for getting heated with referees, which can lead to technical fouls and potential suspensions. Finding healthier ways to manage his emotions could benefit both his game and his team.

Micah Parsons is a force to be reckoned with on the field, but his comments in the media sometimes get him into trouble. Self-reflection might be in order for him. Learning to think before speaking could help him avoid unnecessary controversies and keep fans happy.

Scottie Scheffler has had a remarkable year, winning big tournaments and becoming a father. But a sudden arrest due to a traffic incident given him a scare. Perhaps a bit more patience and planning for the future could have saved him some trouble.

Bruce Bochy, the Rangers' manager, needs no advice. He’s a legend with multiple World Series wins. But if he were to give advice, he might suggest going back to the strategies that worked so well in his San Francisco days.

Pete DeBoer, the Dallas Stars coach, is known for his passion, which sometimes leads to colorful language. Watching his words could help keep his team's image positive.

Mike McCarthy, the Cowboys' head coach, might have a stressful upcoming year. If things don’t go well, he could be out of a job. A relaxing trip might be just what he needs to recharge.

Arike Ogunbowale was a scoring machine for the Dallas Wings. With new talent coming in, she might want to consider sharing the load more. This could help her team in the long run.

Quinn Ewers is a rising star. With the NFL draft looming, he might want to explore new horizons and see what the future holds.

Jerry Jones, the Cowboys' owner, might want to channel his inner Teddy Roosevelt. A bit of soft-spoken wisdom and a big free agent signing could be a winning combination.
