Program Development II. (SMART Goals / Implications)


A quick summary of post #1 on Program Development / Evaluations / Goal Setting.

  • The Goal Setting process must start with a Self Evaluation.  This provides a starting point for the Goal Setting Journey.
  • We Evaluate the Mental, Physical and Social Development of our players and staff.
  • These "Self Evaluations" are conducted 3 times per year.  Post Season, Off Season and Pre Season. 
  • The "Self Evaluations" are platforms for the Goal Setting Sessions which are also conducted each Post Season, Off Season and Pre Season.
  • The objective of our Goal Setting Sessions focus upon how we can collectively facilitate each member of the organization as they work to achieve their Mental, Physical and Social Goals.
  • In Season we use Commitment Cards on a weekly basis.

Zig Ziglar mentions that most people do not actively set goals because they just don't know how to.  The easiest and most effective way to cure this issue is to focus upon setting SMART Goals. 

SMART Goals are Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Realistic and Timely.

  • SPECIFIC GOALS- Focus upon the Who, What, Where, When, Which and Why.  A general goal would be to "Get in shape".  A specific goal would be to "Workout 4 days per week at the gym to increase your bench, squat and clean by a certain amount while lowering your body fat and 40 yard dash by a certain amount". 
  • MEASURABLE GOALS- Are those that focus upon How Much, How Many and How Will I Know It Is Achieved.  For instance, "During the Off-Season I am going to increase my hang clean by 20 lbs". 
  • ATTAINABLE GOALS- This is a process in which you must determine what goals are most important to you and do you have the resources to attain them.  Most goals are attainable when you plan your time and steps wisely. 
  • REALISTIC GOALS- These goals must represent an objective you are both willing and able to work.  Goals can be both high and realistic but you must make certain that all goals represent substantial progress.
  • TIMELY GOALS- A goal should incompass a time frame.  An example of a timely goal is, "I want to have a 4.0 GPA this next 6 week grading period".

IMPLICATIONS OF THE EVALUATION / GOAL SETTING PROCESS ON PROGRAM DEVELOPMENT
  • A program filled with members who are intrinsically motivated.
  • A program filled with members who have a pupose and mission for each day.
  • A program filled with members who work collectively to facilitate each other's progress.
  • Reduced discipline issues.
  • Reduced absenteeism
  • Enhanced production
  • Increased work efficiency
  • A culture that is continually evolving yet positive.
