Goal Setting Flashcards
(15 cards)
What are the benefits of goal settings?
-Allows targets to be met
-builds confidence levels
-provides motivation
-become task persistent
-lowers arousal and anxiety
-reduces social loafing
-sustains effort
-increase commitment
What are the types of goals?
-outcome goals
-performance goals
-process goals
What are outcome goals?
-A goal set against the performance of others and based on results
-end result
-winning a competitor for example the FA cup or the Olympics.
-In this performance the standard of the performance and the process of the performance is secondary to the result.
-a team could scrape a victory who,e performing poorly and this would be success
-if the outcome goal is achievable it maintains motivation and focus.
What are performance goals?
-focussed on getting a better performance
-specific standard
-you can lose the event but still get success which maintains motivation
-sometimes it can be broken down into smaller aspects of the skill like a faster reaction time or better arm action.
-an example of of having a better performance would be improving a PB or accurately replicating a skill.
What are process goals?
-based on improving technique
- Technique or strategy
-improvement in a certain piece of technique should improve the overall skill
- a better arm movement on a pass or wrapped foot on a cross.
A rugby example could be perfecting technique in a tackle or weak hand passing.
What are the characteristics of good goal setting?
- goals should include both process and performance.
-performers should focus on performance goals to maintain motivation looking at improvement and technique
-soloed outcome based performance might damage motivation if the task is seen as unachievable.
-performance goals reduce anxiety and provide consistent motivation.
-outcome goals focus on gaining a prize and providing a basis for comparison they cause more stress
-short term goals provide a means for reassurance.
What is the acronym used to create good goals?
S-Specific
M-Measured
A-Achievable
R-Realistic
T-Time bound
E-Evaluate
R-Re-do
What does specific mean?
Goals should be clear and concise, perhaps using data. These should allow specific improvement to be made
What does measured mean?
Using assessment to obtain data allows comparison and progress to be identified
What does achievable mean?
The performer should be able to reach their goal. Motivation is maintained
What does realistic mean?
The goals need to be reachable to maintain motivation
What does time-bound mean?
Short and long term goals need to be identified so all concerned have a deadline to keep to
What does evaluate mean?
The performer and coach should evaluate how the goal was achieved. Should look at what worked well and what didn’t so that you can adapt and improve.
What does Re-do mean?
If the goal isn’t achieved or is slow it can be repeated. Or the target can be altered if it needs to be.
What is Newton’s second law?
The magnitude and direction of the force determines the magnitude and direction of the acceleration. The rate of acceleration is directly proportional to the force causing the change and the following equation is often used to calls user the size of a force:
Force= mass x acceleration
