The Two Most Important Parts of an Athlete’s Goal
Every athlete’s goal must have three parts to be effective.
- First, there is the outcome part of the goal. This is the part the athlete’s ego wants to achieve at the end.
- Second, there is the performance part of the goal. This is the part that defines how the athlete will measure and track the skill level they must reach to achieve the outcome they want.
- Third and finally, there is the process part of the goal. This is the daily / weekly tasks the athlete must complete to execute the process of improving performance.
#1 is important but can’t be achieved without #2 and #3. Therefore, the two most important parts of an athlete’s goal is #2, the performance part of the goal and #3, the process part of the goal.
