The value of goal setting

Goal setting 4


Goal setting is extremely important to a performer.

By setting out staged and achievable goals, a coach or teacher can keep a performer motivated.

Goal setting 5


As a performer, knowing what you have to do at each stage can give you an element of control and can help to reduce the possibility of boredom with a training routine.

Goals can help a performer work hard and keep focused on a task, giving them a better chance to improve their fitness and skills.

Goal setting 6


Reaching a specific target shows an athlete’s physical progress.

Goal setting 7

Goals can also mentally prepare the performer for an activity or competition as performance ability is increased.


Short-term goals

Short-term goals are often set in training programmes and can act as incentives to train hard as targets can be reached quickly.

They can also work as a signpost, indicating the performer is on target for success.

Goal setting 8


For example, an athlete might:

•Train hard to achieve a good distance which qualifies them for an event.

•Win that event.

•Then be selected for the county team.

•Then be selected to represent the county in a competition.

Long-term goals

Goal setting 10

Long-term goals are often the culmination of several training programmes and can possibly lead to a competition or final event.


There are two types of sporting goals:1. Outcome Goals, which are linked

to results of performance in competition.

2. Performance Goals, which are concerned with previous performances, such as being good enough to run for the country or to be selected for the Olympics.

Goal setting 11
