How to Goal Set

Goal setting should be defined into four broad categories; process and result-oriented goals and short and long-term goals.

Instructions

Difficulty: Easy

1. Divide your goals into process goals, which are the actions themselves that lead to your performance.
2. Focus on small attainable goals that add up to the larger goal.
3. Chart your progress.

Tips & Warnings

• Process goals are typically goals that you have control over: adequate training, adequate preparation and adequate hydration.
• Result goals are typically goals that include variables that you do not have control over: running a certain time is affected by weather conditions that you cannot control or winning an event can be a function of your competitors' performance.
