Keywords: #goalsetting #performancepsychology #smartgoals #processgoals #athlete #motivation #strength Takeaways: Goal setting is a complex process that requires careful consideration. SMART goals are a foundational framework for effective goal setting. Different types of goals (process, performance, outcome) serve unique purposes. Preparation and analysis are crucial in the goal-setting process. Personality factors influence how goals should be set and pursued. Identifying the motives behind goals can enhance commitment. A strengths-based approach can be more effective than focusing on weaknesses. Goal difficulty should be aligned with the individual's capabilities. Specific goals are more effective than vague 'do your best' goals. Regular refinement and adjustment of goals are essential for success.
