Why Set Goals
Goal setting can take a variety of forms. The main purpose is to outline a set of clear objectives and the means by which to reach them. Goals help teams and individuals reach a destination and track their progress and participation during the experience. Goals provide direction and a plan that can always remain open to revision as progress is assessed.
Function
Goals can help a person stay focused and maintain motivation to maintain certain activities required to achieve a goal, such as exercising to lose weight or saving money to buy a certain item. Goals can help direct behavior and define a person’s priorities, report educators at the University of Illinois Department of Disability and Human Development. Setting goals breaks down the process needed to achieve a specific outcome.
Some Goals You Can Set For Yourself
Academic Goals: Academic Honor Roll = 3.0 or Higher / Scholar Athlete = 3.5 or Higher
Attendance Goals: Attend All Practices
Personal Goals: Lose 5 lbs of Fat / Add 10 lbs of Muscle / Become More Agile / Sportsmanship
