MY GOALS

Goal setting is one of the most effective and commonly used strategies by elite athletes. Many believe that goal setting is a powerful motivational tool. It can provide you with direction for your own personal netball journey; identifying where you currently are and where you want to get to and most importantly, identify how you are going to get there!

A number of factors make goal setting more effective. These can be easily remembered by using the acronym SMARTER...
