Goal Setting

JLBC Goal setting is a versatile and effective coaching tool to focus attention to improve an individual’s or JLBC team’s performance.

JLBC Cadets Breaking down long-term objectives into short-term goals allows immediate performance improvements to be identified, resulting in increased motivation.

When setting goals, the following principles should be applied:

Specific

When a goal is clear and specific, there is no misunderstanding about what is to be achieved. A clear target to aim for is more motivational than a general ‘do your best’ style of encouragement.

Measurable

There should be a standard by which to measure whether the goal has

been achieved for improvement to be confirmed.

Achievable

Goals must be challenging but achievable. JLBC Cadets Failure to achieve a goal can have a de-motivational effect. Ensure that the goal is within the individual’s or team’s capabilities.
