You don’t have to be a fantastic hero to do certain things – to compete. You can be just an ordinary chap, sufficiently motivated to reach challenging goals.
– Sir Edmund Hillary, first climber to successfully summit Mt. Everest
Setting goals is one of the most commonly used training tools. Goals can organize the competitors focus and endeavors towards achieving a specific task. They also increase persistence and motivation for long term training. Having a goal can help a performer find new learning strategies. Unfortunately, peoples goals are all too often made incorrectly. If you are interested in setting some goals, or even reevaluating your current goals, follow these seven steps for proper goal setting.
Step 1) Define your goal
Ask yourself these questions:
– What exactly do you want to accomplish?
– What achievement would be worth your very best effort?
– What would you attempt if you knew it was impossible to fail?
– What would you go for if you knew this was your very last chance?
Make sure your vision is clear and powerful, one that you would follow despite whatever...
