As a coach I use these steps in teaching my students about goals And I'm just trying to impart information for learning.

Setting Goals

Goal setting is very important aspect in sports.If we don't have goals it is hard to measure your success

during the year.Goal setting has to include many different aspects,not just something simple as " I want to win the tournament"

Goal Definitions

1. Dream Goals-Are goals that are set over longer time spans between three -six years.These can
be big medium or small.Examples include ;wanting to make team U.S.A.,joining the PBA or smaller as in winning a state or city title.These goal are less defined than short term goals,but they have to be meaningful and something to work toward.

2.Individual Season Goals-These should be your one or two main goals for the season.They should challenge you but,only to the extent you are prepared to do the things necessary to give yourself a chance to meet them.They might be statistical achievements,awards or recognitions you want to achieve .Pick only two.

3.Spirit Goals- The most important;they involve personal growth.What do you really want other than betting your opponent . Examples;Applied myself to my fullest,Got into great shape,Love of competition,

4.Team Goals- (If you are on a team):What are the two or three things you want to achieve as part of a team or as a team.Examples include;Being a better teammate, helping others on my team improve, winning our league,winning city or state tournament.

5.Process Goals-These include areas that may help you reach your goals.Examples include;extra practice,learn to make more ten pins,learn to play inside line,learn to throw the ball straighter,extra weight training,extra cardio workouts,having better eating habits,better sleep habits.

6.Short Term Goals-What do you want to do next in your league or next tournament.You should always go into competition with specific goals,Examples include,win high game, high series,qualify first, win one more match in match play .

Keep in mind that when you set goals they help you achieve your defined dreams.Always be true and positive.Never stress about these goals just work hard to reach them.

Love this "goal setting". How do you respond to your students when they fail?

Failing is a part of learning something.
You cant take on something new if you are afraid to fail.

Very good issue - and you better be aware of it. Otherwise you are not open to learn and actually grow thorugh failure. I think that's a mindset problem/challenge.

Dealing with Failure

We all deal with failure throughout our life and, smaller failures in various levels in our daily
life .The way we learn to live with it and refocus is what is important.No one like to fail but,every
attempted goal includes the possibility of failure.I know failing at something makes all of us feel
bad,but we must learn that it is only a temporary feeling of failure and it will pass.Once you look
at the failure,determine what you can do to change the next outcome,don't dwell on the issue.

Most of us have a difficult time getting over failures but,there are ways to get over the feeling,The
simple way is writing down your successes.Take the time to write the successes you have enjoyed in
life or the time period of your goals (large or small ).Before long you will be reminded of the feeling of success.Go through the successes and focus on what contributed to the of each goal.Remembering
what it feels like to succeed in those areas helps open us up to the possible successes to come.

Everyone fails,and not just once or twice but,throughout life most athletes fail more times than they
succeed. We must remember that failure is just a lesson and we need to learn and move on to to next
stage in this process. When you fail,look back and see how much you have learned.You will be
surprised to see how much you have learned and,how much success you have had.

No matter how you react to failure,never give up.If you start giving up after every failure,you will never accomplish anything in life and your skills we never become polished.And your dreams will never have
a chance to come to light.
