,Goal Setting Course Objective
For this course you will set weekly goals designed to help you achieve your own personal long-
term goal.
Goal-Setting Course Objective Outcome
You will effectively participate in a goal-setting process that enhances your learning,
achievement, and motivation during this course.
Implementing Goal-Setting
Why set goals? Goals define what you want to accomplish and motivate you toward achieving
them. By knowing exactly what you want to accomplish, you can focus your attention and
energy on what is important, and also avoid distractions. The goal-setting process allows you to
see your progress and take pride in what you have accomplished. Throughout the course, you
will be able to monitor your progress and see how far you have come in obtaining your long-
term goal.
Step one: - ANS The first step in the goal-setting process is determining and setting your long-
term goal for this course. That is, you decide what you want to accomplish by the end of the
semester.
Students report a number of different reasons for enrolling in physical activity and wellness
courses, and these reasons can be developed into long-term goals. Remember, when setting
long-term goals you should consider how the desired outcome will impact your health and
wellness. The goal should also be something that is attainable, challenging, and measurable.

, Here are a few sample reasons why students enroll in physical activity courses. Listed with these
are the formal long-term goals.
step 2 - ANS The second step in the process is creating a series of weekly short-term goals
that will help you advance toward achieving your long-term goal. When setting short-term
goals, set goals that are performance-based, not outcome based. Performance-based goals are
related to the execution of the sport or activity, rather than a specific outcome related to
performance. For instance, "Practice my tennis serve two days a week, outside of class." is a
performance-based goal, whereas, "Make 75% of my first serves during practice." is an
outcome-based goal.
The following SMART Goals principles should be implemented when setting your long-term and
weekly goals for this course.
S- specific. Your short-term goals should specifically state what you want to accomplish. Your
goal should pertain to what you want to learn and accomplish by the next week.
M- measurable. You should be able to quantify or measure your goals. For example, how many
times per week and for how long will you engage in the activity, or how many attempts will you
make at practicing a skill.
A- attainable. Your goals should be realistic. You should be able to reach your short-term goals
by next week and your long-term goals by the end of the semester.
R- relative. Your goals should pertain to what you want to accomplish. For this course your goals
should pertain to your specific physical activity course.
T- time. Determine a specific time period in which you want to reach your goals.
