Goal setting can be very powerful in changing
behavior. Not only does goal setting help people achieve what they are aiming
for, but it also increases their self-confidence, motivation, and decreases anxiety.
Effective
goal setting requires hard work. Setting specific, measurable, adjustable,
realistic, and timely goals is a step in the right
direction. Below are a few additional helpful hints to create GREAT GOALS! Systematically providing feedback and following up
with athletes can make all the difference.
Coaches, when beginning goal setting as a team for the season don't forget the power of modeling. Take part in the goal setting process.
Great goals are:
1. Positively Phrased
2. Specific and Measurable
3. Manageable and Achievable
4. Written down
5. Performance goals, not outcome goals
6. Something the athlete actually wants to work towards!
7. Simple
Using these tips, create a structure within your team to make goal setting part of your team culture (a ritual, fun, and enforced by participants).
