Smart Targets

Smart Targets

1. Specific

   • Clearly explain what you want to achieve and ensure your target is specific and relevant
   • Specific- I want to improve my pass completion percentage
   • Vague- I want to get better at hockey

2. Measurable

   • Set measurable targets so you can track your progress and measure if your target has been achieved
   • Measurable- I want to improve my 50-km time by five mins
   • Unmeasurable- I want to get better at cycling

3. Achievable

   • Set targets that you have the ability to reach. Unattainable targets are demotivating and result in failure
   • Achievable- i want to improve my shooting accuracy by 10%
   • Unachievable - I want my shooting accuracy yo be 100%

4. Realistic

   • Realistic- I want to train 3 days a week
   • Unrealistic- I want to train 7 days a week
   • Ensure your target is realistic for you personally. Factors such as work and hobbies, affect your ability to meet your targets.

5. Timed

   • Not Timed - i want to improve my swimming
   • Create a time frame for you to achieve your targets. set an end point as a deadline for achieving your final goal. Establishing a timescale can also help you stay focused
   • Timed - I want to beat my personal best within 2 months
