Goal Setting in Sport…
Mr. P. Leighton
GCSE PE.
Today’s Objectives…
By the end of the session you will be
able to…
– Describe and explain the principles of
setting SMART goals.
– Apply the SMART goals as well as the
S.PO.R.R. (R) and F.I.T.T. Principle to
the start of your Personal Exercise
Programme (PEP).
Starter: FITT Principle...
Open your envelope and link the
statements up to explain the FITT
Principle…
The statements will describe what
that area is or what it means when
planning a block of fitness training.
How to set goals…
What do you think is the overall aim of
fitness training?
– Improve your general fitness?
– Improve your performance in a specific
activity?
– Lose weight?
What statements might you make?
– I want to be fitter!
– I want to be better at football
If you apply the SMART principle to your
decided goal/s it is easier to achieve.
The SMART principle…
S… Specific
M… Measurable
A… Achievable
R… Realistic
T… Time-Bound
Specific…
Where have you seen
this word before?
(Specificity?)
Specific goals are
important- not general
ones i.e. I want to be
fitter- too general!
I want to run 100m
further on the 12min
Coopers Run (small and
achievable!)
Fitness needs to be
evaluated before goals
are set…
Goals must also be…
Measurable…
Measurable basically
means having a way to
test if a goal has been
achieved.
I.e. more distance/ more
weight/ bigger output etc.
Using the specific goal
again- how is that
measured?
Achievable…
Goals need to be
achievable within a set
period of time.
Running 100m more in
the coopers run is
achievable by improving
training over 6 weeksRunning a marathon is
not!
Q: How do you feel
when you do not achieve
something?
A: De-motivated
Realistic…
A goal may be achievable in theorybut is it in practice.
“I want to get stronger Biceps by
being able to curl an additional 2kg
after 2 weeks of training”
Is this a realistic statement?
If not, why?
Time-bound…
Do your goals have
an end point?
Are you a “ill do it
tomorrow”
performer?
The PEP runs for 6
weeks- goal must
be achieved by
then!
Your P.E.P…
Your Personal Exercise Programme (PEP)
should be a programme of fitness that you
wouldn’t mind undertaking yourself…
Think about your own sport/your
strengths and weaknesses in this sport/
what kind of training you already
undertake/ what areas you need to
improve on…
