Smart Targets In Sport
| SMART TARGETS | EXPLANATION | APPLICATION | |
|---|---|---|---|
| S | ✏️️ Specific | The goal must be clear, it cannot be vague e.g. 'I want to get better.' It has to be clear and focus on what you want to improve | To improve the percentage of successful passes in football. To improve my cardiovascular fitness so I can last a full game without getting tired |
| M | 📐 Measurable | In order for your goal to be successful it must have something that can be measured. This can be time, distance or numbers | I want to get an average of a 90% successful pass rate in football I want to improve my 12-minute cooper run score by 150m |
| A | 🥇 Achievable | The goal you have set must be achievable by you. Avoid setting targets that are too difficult as this will be demotivating | I currently achieve an 85% successful pass rate I need to improve by 5% this is achievable. I currently run 2650m in the cooper run. I hope to achieve 2800m |
| R | 👍 Realistic | The goal set must be realistic and one that is possible given all the factors involved such as your fitness level, the time required and the facilities available | An extra 5% success rate is realistic as I am practising extra passing drills. I will be training an extra session on my cardiovascular fitness to run an extra 150m |
| T | ⏰ Time Bound | Goals must have a time frame to complete. You need a cut-off point to when you want to achieve it so you can see the effect of the training | I am going to achieve a 90% successful pass rate by the end of the season I will improve my 12-minute cooper run by 150m in six weeks |
