Document Summary
Can you understand how or why you would meet that objective: outcome goals- focus on the outcome of the event and often involve interpersonal comparison. Goal setting research in sport and exercise: almost all athletes use some type of goal setting to enhance performance, top 3 goals for athletes, 1. Winning- interesting that its not #1 so it tells us a lot about motivation, more interested in improving: 3. Enjoyment: athletes prefer moderately difficult, difficult or very difficult goals. This is different than saying they set unlikely goals, they set one that is just difficult to achieve, so just above their current levels of capability. Female athletes set goals more often and find them more effective than males. Females believe it more which also helps it be more effective as we said earlier: people do not systematically write down goals.
