Short-term goal setting
Short-term goals can be for a training session about to take place, a training game next week or a tournament in a couple of weeks.
These goals tend to change or evolve on a regular basis and will reflect the immediate improvements in a performance. They should provide stepping stones that will help a performer achieve their long-term goal.
A badminton player may set a short term goal of trying to beat their training partner next session
For example, a badminton player may set themselves short-term goals to:
- complete \(10 \times 2 \,min\) smash and movement drills in their next training session
- beat their training partner by five points in each set next week
- win the monthly club tournament
