 Achievement and Feedback
Summary of Goal Setting This section has shown that:- Goal setting is an important method of:
- Deciding what is important for you to achieve in your life
- Separating what is important for you from what is irrelevant
- Motivating yourself to achievement
- Building your self-confidence based on measured achievement of goals
- You can set goals effectively by:
- Phrasing them positively
- Defining them precisely
- Prioritising multiple goals
- Writing them down
- Keeping them manageable: Not too hard, but not too easy.
- Setting performance goals, not outcome goals
- Failure in meeting goals is useful in improving technique and long term successas long as you draw useful lessons from it and feed these back into your goal-setting program.
- You should allow yourself to enjoy the achievement of goals and reward yourself appropriately. Lessons should be drawn where appropriate, and should be fed back into training.
As a final point, if you do not already set goals, or if you have not yet focussed on your life goals, now is a great time to start! |
