S.M.A.R.T.E.R goal setting…
S = Specific
M = Measurable
A = Achievable
R = Realistic
T = Time-phased
E = Exciting
R = Recorded
Specific
You goal must focus on achieving a
particular aspect of performance.
E.G – A basketball would learn to lay
up with their weaker hand to
improve their performance in a
game.
Measurable
You must be able to determine
whether you have improved your
skill level or achieved your goal.
E.G – Scoring more lay ups in a game
with your weaker hand.
Achievable
Your goal must be attainable or your
motivation will drop as you will never
be able to reach the level you desire.
E.G – A basketball player setting a
goal to break into the starting five at
his local club.
Realistic
Your goal must be sensible. If you aim
too high it will damage your morale
and could have the adverse effect on
your participation.
E.G – There would be no point in a
recreational 25 year old basketball
player from England setting a goal to
play in the N.B.A.
Time Phased
Your goal must have a time limit
applied to it otherwise you will lose
focus. If you set lots of goals that are
achieved quickly your confidence will
go up.
E.G – A basketball player setting a
goal of scoring 20 points in their next
game.
Exciting
Your goals must enable you to become
energized about the prospect of
achieving them otherwise you run
the risk of becoming bored and
unmotivated.
E.G – A basketball player leading his
team out in the cup final.
Recorded
You must be able to confirm the
success of your goal setting in order
to move onto a new goal.
E.G – A basketball player winning the
cup final and getting a trophy to
display at home.
