  1. Goal Setting VCE Units 1 & 2: Chapter 8

  2. Goal Setting • Commonly used for enhancing motivation • Focuses attention on areas for improvement • Athletes are more committed when they have a goal • Goals need to be set for both training and competition

  3. Outcome Goals: These goals focus on end results, times, finishing place or medals Two Types of Sporting Goals

  4. Performance Goals Comparing current performance levels to previous performances ( a measure of improvements made) World 100m record holder Asafa Powell of Jamaica Two Types of Sporting Goals

  5. Long & Short Term Goals Long Term Goals = aimed at a broader target and are often set at the start of a season (win a grand final) Short Term Goals = Continually provide a more manageable focus point for athletes and act as ‘stepping stones’ towards the long term goal (win each week)

  6. “SMARTER” Goals The National Coaching Association has developed a method of writing down goals known as ‘SMARTER’ Specific- goals need to be specific and as clear as possible to focus attention Measurable- progress should be assessed against a standard or previous performances

  7. “SMARTER” Goals Accepted- by all parties involved in preparing the athlete (e.g.- athlete, coach, family, etc.) Realistic- goals should extend the athlete but remain within his/ her capability Time phased- there should be a specific date for completion (“by the end of ‘08 will…”)

  8. “SMARTER” Goals Exciting- the athlete needs to be challenged, inspired and ultimately rewarded Recorded- goals should be written down by the athlete to evaluate progress, provide feedback and act as a motivator

  9. SMARTER Goals Example Soccer S= to be able to score goals from penalty kicks both in the air and along the ground M= 10 attempts at each method (air / ground) A= Yes R= 75% success rate T= By the end of the month (April) E= Yes (challenging) R= Training Diary

  10. Commitment • Performance depends on the athlete being completely committed to all goals • Athletes need to juggle many things such as work, study, family, friends and hobbies with their goal achievement. • This is not easy!!!

  11. Commitment Things that can undermine commitment are: • A feeling that progress isn’t being made • A lack of involvement in planning of training, etc. • Failure to understand the aims of the training program • Not enjoying overall involvement in the program

  12. Commitment • Being anxious about performing / playing • Being bored- not challenged • Lack of teamwork • Other team members showing a lack of commitment

  13. Commitment When a coach and their athletes set their goals together they can develop: • A greater sense of worth • A feeling of joint- ownership • More responsibility
