Topic:
An engaging Goal Setting process is a great way to improve the motivational climate and quality of your training activities and thus reach your potential. It engages the mind in personal growth and effort to improve, a great antidote for the nerves and pressure on winning. The toughest, and most important part of goal setting is what comes after- the ongoing goal-getting process.
Although determination, discomfort tolerance and commitment result in positive change, we don’t all like the adversity required to adapt. People are naturally driven by emotion, are reactive and struggle to stay motivated or stick to a plan long term. Sport Psychologists specialise in supporting and enhancing goal setting with a broad toolkit. This presentation provides an introduction to performance profiling, goal setting and goal getting methods to maintain motivation and reach your peak.
