Team Goal Setting
Lead a group activity that encourages your team to set five goals:
- (1) individual skill goal: a measurable goal based on an individual skill that is appropriate to your participant’s level of experience & developmental stage. A new participant’s individual skill goal should involve mastering a fundamental movement skill.
- (2) individual social goal: a measurable goal based on an individual’s ability to communicate to themselves in times of fear or failure (e.g. Before every foul shot I take, I will say to myself out loud “I got this shot.”)
- (3) team skill goal: a measurable goal that will be an identifier for your team (e.g. Be the team with the most assists in the league.)
- (4) team social goal: a goal that aligns with your team culture & promotes social connectedness. (e.g. Always giving a high five when a player comes off the field for a substitution.)
- (5) personal goal: can be a performance goal or a social goal that is unrelated to sport. This goal will give you & other participants insights into their teammates’ other interests. It promotes the development of self-worth outside of sport performance. (e.g. Writing 3 things you are grateful for before each school day.)
