Achieving Goals

Setting goals is an effective process to motivate students for what they want to achieve. In taekwondo every student spends their time in class towards achieving their goals both individually and as a team.  A goal not only is something to accomplish for belt advancement, but also can mean the accomplishment of a difficult kick or self defense technique.

Recently three athletes represented Canada in Beijing, 2008 Olympics: Ivett Gonda (BC) Sebastien Michaud (Quebec) and silver medal champion Karine Sergerie (Quebec).  Each athletes goal was to win a gold medal and even though Karine was happy that she obtained silver, she continues working towards her goal to get a gold medal.
Whatever a student’s reason for setting goals, they can be sure that the achievement of the goal will result in change.
Steps to establishing a goal:

• See the end result in your mind, be specific and clearly define your goal.
• If you write down your goal, the probability you’re going to succeed is higher and the more you write down (the steps you will take to achieve your goal) will increase the commitment you’re making to complete your task. The mind is visual, when it sees that you’ve put a lot down in writing, it sends the message, “we might as well do it, you’ve already spent all this time writing about it!”
• Identify when you’re going to work on it (daily and or weekly) This is a very important step, you’ll increase the chance of success. First, you’ll be putting the goal into your schedule at a specific time and second, you’ll be making a commitment and third, you’ll be using clear thought to pick the correct time to work on it.
• Make your goal measurable. By attaching dates and figures to your goal you can see if you’re making progress or not. Measurement is especially important when your goal is spread over a month or longer. At the end of each week, you need to see if you’re on target or need to make adjustments.
• Is your goal realistic and achievable? If you don’t believe you can reach your goal, there is a high statistical probability you won’t. You also need to make sure you have the time and resources to achieve your goal in the allotted time frame.
• Write down start and completion dates. If you write down specific start and completion dates it will increase your focus and the likelihood of meeting your goal. If you don’t do this, chances are you will continue to put off working toward your goal.
• Say it… Go ahead and say your goals out loud. Tell your family and friends about your goal and your plans in achieving your goal.
• Start rewarding yourself by simply writing down the history of your successes. As you complete each task put a checkmark next to it or cross it off.  Most people don’t reward themselves after they complete a difficult task… rewarding yourself is part of being good to you. A reward doesn’t have to be expensive an example if I get my homework done by dinner, I’m going to watch my favorite TV show.

In order to achieve goals, it’s important that you believe you can do it!
