Set Challenging But Reachable Golf Training Goals
Posted by John Lamb under: Golf .
'I've built my career on a succession of goals. Hitting them - and sometimes missing them narrowly - has been the fuel, the impetus that has taken me from one level up to the next'. (Greg Norman, 'Shark Attack')
I have written this article to guide you on how to set goals for yourself. Personally I am impressed by Leslie Cameron?s methodology and would recommend it to all. To start with, set a goal that is ?achievable? rather than setting an unachievable goal for you. Research and see if anyone prior to you has been able to achieve the same goal. If no, what is the basis on which you feel you shall be able to do it? The answers to these questions would give you clarity on whether your targets are reasonable or not.
IS ACHIEVING THIS GOAL WITHIN MY CONTROL? Booking golf instruction lessons with your coach to improve technique, is within your control, so is the effort you put into practice. ARE THE COSTS AND CONSEQUENCES OF REACHING THE GOAL ACCEPTABLE TO ME? Sometimes stepping up a level in golf may mean time away from family or friends, or may break up your regular Saturday playing group. Is that acceptable to you?
DO YOU HAVE ALL THE RESOURCES YOU NEED TO ACHIEVE YOUR GOAL? Is your golf swing good enough? If not, can you find an instructor to refine it? Are you physically in the right shape? Do you need to improve your flexibility, stability and strength? Take the time to make sure you have everything you need to achieve your goal.
Lastly, analyze the time that would be spent in achieving your goal. Not all goals can be achieved immediately. Are you ready to wait and would you be happy if you get it at a much later date? If the answer is no then you need to re-evaluate your goals. Set a goal that is achievable and gives you happiness and not frustration.
1. What am I seeking from my life, where do I see myself?
2. Do I have it in me to fulfill my goals?
3) What will I accept as evidence that I have achieved my goal?
4) Is achieving this goal within my control?
5. Am I mentally prepared to bear the costs and compromises for achieving the goal?
6. Are the means to achieve the goal in my control?
7. In case my goal takes time to be fulfilled would I be fine with it?
Answer these and get ready to achieve your targets.
