For goal setting to be effective, its important that you follow the SMART principle: S specific M measurable A agreed R realistic T time phased NATIONAL/COMMUNITY/12.2
SPECIFIC Goals must be clear and specific. You therefore know exactly when you have achieved your goal. MEASURABLE Goals need to be assessed and therefore they need to be measurable. The more specific they are the more measurable they are likely to be. NATIONAL/COMMUNITY/12.2
AGREED - Goals that teachers / coaches and performers have talked about and shared are more likely to be achieved, because there is a common interest. REALISTIC Goals must be within reach of the performer so that motivation remains high. But if they are too easy it can be de-motivating because the performer may not try as hard. They must be challenging but realistic. NATIONAL/COMMUNITY/12.2
TIME PHASED Goals should be split into short term goals leading to long term goals. You need to set yourself a date where you want to have achieved your goal so that you have a time frame to work towards. This ensures goals remain realistic and achievable. NATIONAL/COMMUNITY/12.2
