Reaching Your Goals
Reaching Your Goals
Successful people are motivated by “goals” A goals is a desired achievement toward which you work. As you set your goals, you may need to set short-term goals and long-term goals. A short term-goal is something you plan to achieve in the near future. A long-term goal is something you plan to achieve over a period of time.
I would like for each of you to establish goals for the 2011-2012 short course swim season. This is important because it will help make practice more meaningful.
Having goals will help motivate you to do something. There are three main steps to getting to where you want to go:
- The dreams.
- The goals.
- The objectives.
Sit down and write out your dreams. Goals need to be specific. Give number and time. Be realistic in setting your goals. The objectives are where the action takes place. Objectives are the things you do to get your wants. Objectives are very specific. Objectives are written: I Will ……. .
Sit down with your parents and ask them to help you established your goals for the 2011-2012 short course swim season. Once you complete this process share it with your coach. Remember your goals are not written in blood which simply means that you can change or modify them.
