Six Questions to Ask Before Goal Setting

Here are six crucial questions to ask when you start to make your goals for the basketball season or camp training program.

1. What do I want?
   
2. Am I willing to pay the price?
3. Why do I want to do this?
4. Who benefits the most from my achieving this goal?
5. When will this take place?
6. Where will this take place?

Often, we don’t get what we want because we don’t know what we want. Learn to be specific.

Three Important Types of Goals

1. Long Range Goal-Big goal, 10 years or more from now.
2. Intermediate-Range Goal-These are checkpoints, keeping us on target or identifying needs for adaptations or changes.
3. Short Range Goal-Three to nine months; they make long-range goals possible. (short term is the road to long term.)

The brain works on specifics, not generalities: How will I know when I have achieved that goal? What tangible (taste, touch, smell, see, or hear) item will show you that you have achieved your goal?
