WHAT iS S.M.A.R.T
BASKETBALL TRAINING?
S’ is for Specific
Good goals are confusing. Rather, you need to have a clear, concise goal that you can set your sights on. For example, rather than saying “I want to get better at basketball ” you could say “I want to improve my 3 pt shooting by 10% this summer”. You can see how the latter example is much more specific, and, therefore, is a better goal.
‘M’ is for Measurable
Tracking the progress of your goal is an important part of keeping you motivated. It allows you to set milestones that you can celebrate when you meet them and reevaluate when you don’t. It’s a good idea, then, to always have some aspect of your goal that can be measured and evaluated.
A’ is for Achievable
Far too many people fall into the trap of setting impossible goals for themselves. While impossible goals may push you forward for a while, you will almost certainly end up giving up on them at some point in the future. Instead of impossible, your goals should be challenging yet achievable.
Before you set a goal, make sure that you can actually envision yourself achieving it.
R’ is for Relevant
Not all goals are as worthwhile as others. Unless your goal is relevant to your overall plan for your life, achieving it may not accomplish anything. In order to ensure that your goal is beneficial, make sure that it is worth your time, make sure that achieving it will provide positive benefits to your life, and make sure that this goal aligns to at least some degree with the other goals you have.
T’ is for Time-Bound
Effective SMART goals must have a target time attached to them. For example, rather than saying “I want to get more playing time” you could say “I will increase my playing time by studying film 30 min a day for the next 6 months”. You can see how the person who set that second goal will be much more motivated to succeed since they have a target date in mind for their goal.
