Seasonal Goal Setting Form

You will set short-term and long-term goals for the season. Your short-term goals should be realistic and progressive – one leading to the next. Base them on your training and current fitness level. Your long-term goal should be something that is a little bit out of reach at the beginning or middle of the season. (i.e. a certain time or mark or a sectional championship etc.)

Factors in Successful Goal Setting and Achievement

·         Decide what you want to accomplish or achieve.

·         Your goal(s) must be realistic and achievable.

·         Your goal(s) must be specific and measurable (time, height, distance, place)

·         Establish a timeline/deadline for reaching each goal.

·         Put your goal(s) in writing.

·         Believe in your ability to achieve the goal(s) you set.

In the table below, select the events you would like to compete in. List your Personal PB) if you have one. List a goal (time, height, distance, or points) for each event you select. If you are new to an event leave the PB and goal blank. We will complete this sheet after you have tried the event.

Training/Competition statement

Training sessions will be designed to be fun and engaging for all athletes and will be focused on long term development and progression.  Why all safety precautions are taken, and athletes will not be expected or allowed to do anything above their ability however there is an inevitable risk of injuries in all athletics events and why the risks are reduced as much as possible through correct technical training and training load management the risk will always be present, and injuries are possible.

For the athlete to get consistent improvements the athlete will need to consistently attend training sessions at least 90% of the time.  It is strongly suggested that athletes attend at least 2 sessions a week and as they progress to becoming more advanced, they will need to train 3 to 4 days a week to get continued improvement.  Basically, the more sessions you attend the higher the likelihood of getting improvements. 

Sessions will run as much as practical but in the case of extreme weather training will be adjusted or cancelled depending on the severity of the weather.
