SMART Goals

I’m going to start off by saying that I did not make any SMART goals. The reason I did this is because I don’t really like making goals like that. I find that when you make a goal, there are times that you can get too overwhelmed in trying to achieve what you already set out to do, which is pretty much setting yourself up for failure. You may not fail the goal by doing this, but there will be something else that you will forget about because you are too focused on your goal. The main reason I do not set goals, is just for that reason. I don’t want to fail. My soccer coach from 3 years ago made us make goals before every game. One game when we were playing our rivals from Danville, I made a crazy goal, which was to get 25 jukes in the game. I ended up actually accomplishing this goal and finishing it by juking out a guy 5 times in a row in the last 5 minutes. If the team was any better, my goal could have affected the rest of the team because maybe I would have lost the ball a lot more than I did and we could have lost. The next season, we stopped making goals because a few of us realized that we didn’t need to make goals to do well in our games.
