Post 6 Week 5 Training Program Goal Setting

How long did the session last?

The Session this week lasted 1 hour 45 minutes.

Where did the session take place? 
The session took place in Loughborough on Tuesday morning at 8:30am

Which psychological strategy is being used? 
The psychological strategy that was been used was goal setting. In this session it was a competition she had entered. We agreed for her to enter this competition because we could see if her short term goals she had set have worked and if she has reached them. Because if she had then we could set more goals and increase how hard they are to achieve. Also after the competition we sat down and spoke about how she thought she did and how she felt about the race. We did this so we could give each other feedback and compare things about the race.
Why did you choose this activity for your sports performer?
I chose this activity for my sports performer because I thought it would be good too see if she had achieved her short term goal. It was also good because we could see what other improvements we might need to make to make her become better than she already is. I also chose it because if she did achieve her goal then we could sit down together again and focus and pick more harder goals maybe on different aspects of the race.
What specific benefits will this bring to your performer and possibly their team? 
The specific benefits this will bring to the sports performer would be that she would be able to see herself if she has achieved her goal and if she had then she would think to herself that the hard work paid off and she would focus on her training more often because she knows it will help her to improve. Also another benefit would be if she did achieve her goal then she would be more confident because she knows she can achieve things if she sticks to them and works hard focusing on them.
