Conversely goals can be set so low that the athlete feels no challenge of benefit in achieving the goal. Setting goals has been a waste of time. Always set goals that are challenging. If achievement cannot be measured, then your self-confidence will not benefit from goal setting, nor can you observe progress towards a greater goal. Set precise, quantitative goals.
Goal setting can be unsystematic, sporadic and disorganised.
Here goals will be forgotten, achievement of goals will not be measured, and feedback will not occur into new goals. The major benefits of goal setting have been lost. Be organised and regular in the way that you use goal setting. Too many goals may be set, leading to a feeling of overload. Remember that you deserve time to relax and enjoy being human.
