COACHING TIP OF THE MONTH
THE IMPORTANCE OF GOAL-SETTING
It is very difficult to plan a trip, to make arrangements, to know what preparation is needed unless you have decided where you are going on your trip. If you know you want to go ‘somewhere’ but you have not decided where that ‘somewhere’ is, then you are going to have trouble getting anywhere. Setting a destination for a trip can be likened to setting a goal for a team – without a clear goal, your team may not be able to achieve their full potential.
As Anthony Robbins once said: “Setting goals is the first step to turning the invisible into the visible.”
Goals can be team goals – “Our team wants to come in the top 3 in the league” – or more personal “I want to improve my batting average by 5% this season”. Regardless of the nature of the goal - goals give individuals something to work towards.
In setting goals one well-known model to use is the EXACT Coaching Model. This model focuses on the goals, objectives, and outcomes of the coaching process. As mentioned previously, it is highly important that the coach, the players, and all other people involved have an understanding of what is to be achieved or where the team is planning on ‘going’.
