“In life as in football, you won't go far, unless you know where the goalposts are”

What this means is when you set a goal you're suppose to  know what you're doing. Youn won't go as afr if you don't know how to get to that  goal and don't know how to handle it. Your suppose to set a goal that you know know how to do and get there. You know where and how to get there and make it easy for you. Your suppose to know where the help is to get there like to set the goal. An example is if you set a goal to be a doctor . you are suppose to go to school and know if you could make it to college.
