1. Goal Setting

2. Assessing the data: Grab a “Warrant of Fitness” Card Fill in your results for the tests that we have completed Go around the room and look at the sheets for the tests that have criteria, fill in what your rating for that test was. e.g. excellent, satisfactory, needs improvement.

4. Gives us something to work towards

6. Specificity S = Specific When setting a goal you need to state exactly what it is you want to improve or achieve

7. Measure M = Measurable When setting a goal you need to be able to measure it whether it be in time, distance, or another variable. If you cannot measure it, it isn't a SMART goal!

8. Attainable A = Attainable When setting a goal you need to be sure that in the time you have set that you are able to reach that goal. E.g. having a goal to climb Mt Everest this year is not attainable for you or me.

9. Realistic R = Realistic When setting a goal you need to be realistic. Like attainability you need to set a goal that is within your means. You need to take into account what resources you need to achieve your goal too.

10. Time T = Timely You need to set a time limit or at least a time frame for when you want to have achieved your goal by. Goals can be short term e.g. Two weeks or, Long term – Up to 5+ years

11. Setting our own goals Looking at the results from your fitness tests choose one component of fitness/ related test that you would like to set a goal towards improving. Make sure that you are setting SMART goals…e.g. nothing that doesn’t specify what, for how long etc. E.g. “My goal is to improve my cardiorespiratory endurance. I will measure this by using my 12 minute run time. I want to be able to run 3km within 12 minutes. I want to be able to achieve this goal in 10 weeks”.
