Goal Setting – (LA: B)

Goal setting is the first step in training programme design. You should be clear about your goals before designing your programme. Goals need to be exciting, worthwhile and achievable and follow the SMARTER rule.

S – specific

M – measurable

A – achievable

R – realistic

T – time-related

E – exciting

R – recorded

Types of goals –

·  outcome goals – performance goals – e.g winning a race, setting personal bests, being selected for a team – used for longer term goals.

·  Process goals – e.g. improved reaction to starter’s gun, improving technique – useful for short and medium goal setting – can be controlled by the performer.

Review – post programme (P6, M4, D3)

Review date / Aim Set (page 9) / Progress achieved? / Description &
explanation of strengths / Description &
explanation of areas for improvement / Justification of recommendations for future training and performance
20/9 / To decrease body fat measure (skin fold test) by 5mm by the end of the programme / Achieved & exceeded (by 4mm)! / My initial reading was 96mm (average reading from 7 sites on my body) which I got down to 87mm by the end of the programme. This is a strength because I met and exceeded my target.
20/9 / To improve warm-up and cool down routines / Minimal / I never spend much time w. up or cooling down. I wanted to make my warm-ups more specific (especially the third phase) and use the cool down as a time to improve my flexibility through a range of stretching exercises. I still rushed both and didn’t plan either very well. / Ü  Allocate more time (and stick to it)
Ü  Have specific activities planned (and do it to music)
Ü  Watch other people who have good warm-up and cool down routines / Allocating time will give me a structure. I stick to my training sessions so should do so with my warm-up etc.
Also, If I watch other people it will give me ideas…which I can then use in my programe. If I have a routine planned there is more chance I will stick to it.
