In order to get the best out of the goal setting strategy, many athletes and coaches follow the SMART approach as outlined by Kelly Bourne in ‘Why Goal Setting is Important’. This SMART acronym aims to break down five key aspects to achieving goals. This is to help ensure all areas are focused on the individual making them effective.

Specific – A defensive player to win over 90% of their challenges throughout a 90-minute match. An attacking player to make 10-15 runs or attempts on goal throughout a 90-minute match

Measurable – How many goals/assists scored throughout the season, How many saves or challenges a GK or defender has made

Attainable – Ensuring the goal which is set for the athlete is attainable/achievable, starting with small tasks which are achievable to help gain confidence in the process and then start to make larger goals

Realistic – This is key and very important to discuss with the athlete individually. Each athlete is different and has varied strengths and weaknesses in different areas. The athlete will need to decide which on these goals and agree that they are realistic targets set for themselves to achieve

Time based – Goals should be set for a time period of a season, but you can set smaller time frames within that specific to the athlete. Again athletes are individual, so some may prefer every month, or others could possibly do it over a three-month period

A balanced healthy lifestyle is crucial for success. Coaches are only with an athlete for a small portion of their day or week and are often unaware of the lifestyle stressors that are affecting their athletes.

There are many articles out there that look at the specific characteristics required to coach effectively and one that is particularly interesting is from Wayne Goulding in The Ten Habits of Highly Effective Coaches. He lists the most important traits as follows:

1️⃣Make training more challenging and more demanding that the competition your athletes are targeting: Great coaches realize that training needs to be more challenging – physically, mentally, technically, tactically and emotionally – than the actual competition
2️⃣Learn to develop as a coach at a faster rate than your athletes: Coaches must remain relevant and have to strive to improve themselves at all times
3️⃣Accelerate your rate of learning faster than your opposition: Great coaches understand that everyone is learning every day and strive to accelerate their rate of learning faster than opposing coaches
4️⃣Enhance your creative thinking skills: Creativity is the defining difference between good coaches and great coaches Good coaches can follow programs: great ones invent wining programs by creating new ideas
5️⃣Coach individuals – even in team sports: Great coaches will engage with athletes and inspire them to consistently prepare with passion and to realize their full potential
6️⃣Ensure that every athlete prepares their opposition: Winning comes from being the best in every aspect: training, preparations, skills, recovery, gym training, sleep, travel management, nutrition etc
7️⃣Adapt training sessions to optimize impact on each individual at every training session: The best coaches plan meticulously with great attention to detail and understand the importance of every training session in building to the ultimate goal
8️⃣Performance practice (not practice) makes perfect: Practice will help you master a skill but performance practice will allow you master it in a way that it can be executed in the right way at the right time in competition

The article ‘Why Are So Many Teen Athletes Struggling With Depression?’ outlines that nearly half of American youths struggle with their mental health (depression, anxiety, aggressive behavior) before turning 18, while 12 percent have experienced a bout of depression. Playing sports on a regular basis is of course known to boost physical and mental health, but sometimes the demands placed on high-school athletes who train year-round and might need an athletic scholarship to afford a college education mean that their sports can be a key contributor to depression and anxiety.

It’s not enough to simply throw training at athletes and assume they will/can handle it. The training loads that coaches give to an athlete have to adhere to the Goldilocks principle: Training loads have to be high enough to elicit adaptation, but not so high they result in overtraining.
