Example of creating a goal
1) Write down a specific time you want to hit in one of your races
2) Write down how you will do this (ex. what could the splits be)
3)Write down what you can do to help yourself achieve this goal
Tip # 1 - Review your goals with somebody
For Dominique, she would review her goals with her coach, who would help her to adjust details.
It is important for your coach to know your goals because they can help hold you accountable to your daily habits which can affect whether or not you reach your final goal.
Tip #2 - Check back on your goals
Write down your goals and put them somewhere safe so you can check back on them.
Dominique would put her goals in her locker, to remind herself every day about what she needed to be doing in and out of training to get closer to success.
