Goal Setting Presentation

This document discusses the importance of effective goal setting. It defines a goal as something that is a dream, attainable, measurable, has a time limit, and is within one's control. Bad goals lack specificity or measurability, while good goals are concrete and quantifiable. The document recommends breaking down large goals into smaller, interim subgoals to stay motivated. It also advises planning the steps needed to achieve each subgoal. Finally, it notes that goals require a commitment to regular work and accountability, and that success comes from continual effort toward goals rather than 100% achievement.

Goal Setting

Conducted by

Lawrence Fine

Failing to Plan
is the same as
Planning to Fail
Think of a goal as your final destination, if you don’t
know what your final destination is, there is no way to
plan on how to get there.

No planning = Failing
Definition of a goal
A goal is:
 A Dream
 Attainable
 Measurable
 Has a Time Limit
 Within your control
 In Writing
Examples of bad Goals:

“I want to get faster”


Is this goal set up as a goal that is easily measurable? Is
there a time limit to this? How about:

“I presently run the 40 in 5.0 seconds and by


December 1, I want to be able to run the 40
in 4.9”
Example of bad goal:

“I want to get faster”


Is this goal set up as a goal that is easily measurable? Is
there a time limit to this? How about:

“I presently run the 40 in 5.0 seconds and by


December 1, I want to be able to run the 40
in 4.9”
Example of bad goal:
“I want my team to win every tournament
we enter this year.”
The problem with this goal is that this isn’t something that is
necessarily within your control. For example, if you are a classic
level team, one way to fulfill this goal would be to only play in
recreational level tournaments which might allow them to fulfill
this goal even though it isn’t much of a “dream accomplished.”
The other side of this would be the team that really challenges
themselves and competes in very difficult tournaments where
they win some and lose some. While they aren’t winning every
game, they might be improving in each competition. A better
way to word this might be to break things down such as “to put 7
of 10 shots on goal in our next tournament” or “complete
60% of passes successfully in the next three games.”
Examples of good team goals:

“Get a shutout in 60% of the games this fall


(while there certainly are things out of the teams
control such as a much better team or a great
goal scorer, by setting this throughout the whole
season and making it attainable even against top
level competition by using an average instead of
a specific set of games).”

“Set up for properly for all dead ball situations in


the next 6 games.”
Examples of good individual goals:

“Increase my ability to juggle from 10


consecutive juggles to 30 consecutive juggles in
the next 60 days”

“Improve my vertical jump by 2 inches by


December 15”
Now that you have set your individual and
team goals, now what?
Think of it as you now know you want to drive from Charleston WV
to Disney World in Orlando Florida. You know the final
destination but now have to figure out the best route to get from
Charleston to Orlando. This would mean getting maps (or using
Mapquest.com or possibly a GPS system) and planning. To make
the drive easier, rather then driving to Orlando you could drive to
Charlotte, have lunch, then plan on next going to Jacksonville FL
for dinner and then on to Orlando. By breaking this down it
doesn't make the trip any shorter, but it does make it easier
because when you get to Charlotte you have fulfilled one of the
sub goals and then you can look forward to the next sub goal
instead of simply looking at the final destination and saying "wow,
I will never get there?"
You know where you want to be, the next step
would be to figure out how to accomplish these
goals.
Using the previous individual goal of improving juggling
from 10 to 30 consecutive juggles in the next 60 days,
the process might be as simple as allocating 15 minutes
every day for the next 60 days to work on juggling. If
the previous record was 10 you would want to set a sub
goal of getting up to 15 after the first 10 days, then 20
after 20 days and then each day add one more. By
setting these sub goals, it allows the player to see
gradual improvement by achieving each of the sub goals
which will encourage them to keep working at
improving.
Once you have your goals (and your sub goals)
you need to figure out how you are going to be
able to accomplish these goals. You want to be
as specific as possible in order to achieve your
objective of achieving each of the sub goals and
the ultimate goals.
While you want your goals to be
attainable, it’s also important to have a
long term BHAG. This is something that
is “out there”, something that quite
Big possibly might not be attainable but
something that you would really like to
Hairy accomplish long term. An example
would be setting as your BHAG to be
“to make the national team by the time
Audacious you are 24.” While this might be
something that is possible, it most
Goal likely is something that is really a push
to ever accomplish but as long as you
are working toward your BHAG you will
most likely be successful.
Does a person have to achieve their
goals in order to be successful?

NO
Set goals, make sure they are in writing
and readily visible and work toward your
goals on a regular basis.
Three Steps to Success:

 Set the Goals


 Make a Commitment
 Be Accountable
