  • Essay / Goal Setting in Sports Psychology - 1957

    Achieving short-term goals not only builds self-confidence, but also builds enthusiasm to achieve the next goal. It is very important to list specific objectives, as outlined in the theory section of this document. Once the goals are listed, the next step is to refine and prioritize one goal from each section of fitness. For example, if your goals in the muscular strength section are: 1. Do 50 push-ups without stopping, 2. Bench press 150 lbs. 3. Squat 200 pounds. The next step would be to select which goal is most important and narrow down to that one goal. Focusing on a few goals makes the process smooth and there is less chance of a person losing track of what they need.
