A Visual Aid to Goal-Setting

@zacketterhpc

Wanting to win a championship is irrelevant. #goals #coaching #footballtiktok #psychology

Outcome goals are often irrelevant. Everyone wants to succeed. What’s your plan? What are the barriers? What are your resources? Etc. Those are more productive conversations that give your program focus points and tasks to accomplish on a daily and weekly basis that may ultimately lead to a chance to compete for a championship.

Start with the (obvious) goal you’d like to accomplish, and then we’ll create a plan from there: What are 8 values/subgoals that would we could say “if we accomplish or live out these 8 boxes, we’re giving ourselves the best possible chance to accomplish the overall goal?”

Even still, “winning the penalty battle” is an outcome. Redzone conversation percentage is an outcome. Let’s break it down into daily/weekly tasks or approaches that will help us get there.

Now we have a full scope visual of how we want to approach this goal. Everyone wants to win a championship. The coaches that formulate the best plan of action with the time and resources they have will give their teams the best chance of success. Side note: kids love visuals, and often need them. Once you create this with your team, it’s easier to identify with them when they’re not meeting expectations based on what they committed to.
