2023 - Team Goals

Let break our records created last season!  We will need everyone's effort for our goals to be met.  That means running more and keeping a positive attitude.  One foot in front of the other.  Can you go out the door?  Can you run at least 3 miles four days a week?  If you can say YES, we can meet and exceed our expectations.

Goal Setting

Goal Setting Worksheet

Individual Goals - Goal setting is very important skill for cross country and everyday life.  Each member is responsible for setting individual goals.  Daily, weekly, monthly goals and supporting goals help get you where YOU want to go.  The supporting goals help you achieve your main goals and act as process goals.  But no matter what goals you are setting, they need to be S.M.A.R.T (Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Relevant, and Timely).  For example "I will run 3 day this week for 25 minutes."  A process goal may be "I will go to bed early and get up early each day I run to beat the heat."  Set your goal, make it time bound, and master it.  Once it's mastered, set a new goal and keep reaching.
Team Goals - Both boys and girls will setting their team goals.  This will create a sense of unity and purpose for the team.  It will take place in August when we have our team dinner.  (More to come about that later.)  
Program Goals:  This is for the coaching team and parents.  Coaches and parents have program expectations, but do they match?  I have laid out the schedule for competitions and beginning practice to give us some program goals, but other goals that need to be set are award criteria and parent involvement and of course we all need dream goals. Right? 

As always, I need to hear from you.  I want to hear of your goals.  This is your team and your program.  Let's not just run in circles. :)
