Inside the Mind of High Performance Athletes and Coaches: The Science and Strategy of Goal Setting

In this episode of Brain in the Game, we talk about the power of goal setting and how you can set objectives and goals as an athlete. 🥅

Goal setting is more than just a trendy buzzword, in this episode we discuss the value of effective goal setting and objectives provide, such as:

📍 Direction: a clear path to follow, guiding your actions and keeping you focused, giving you a unique roadmap towards success.

🎯 Motivation: a purpose and a reason to push yourself beyond your comfort zone. 

👥 Social: allows you to share your journey with others, creating a community of support and connection.

🔒 Accountability: checkpoints and self-assessment hold you accountable for your progress, which keeps you on track.

🔁 Replicability: Setting goals isn't a one-time deal. It's about creating a blueprint for success that you can replicate in order to optimise your growth.

Goal setting is an internal process driven by your own aspirations, so while external goals set by coaches or competition schedules are essential, they don't capture your personal journey. So join me on this episode and discover why integrating goals and objectives into your journey is vital.
