1. Understand Yourself
A goal should tell you exactly what you want and should be measurable.
For example: I want to score 10 lacrosse goals this season.
“10 goals” is clear and specific.
2. Make clear, specific Goals
Say “ I want to lose 5 pounds by Christmas” rather than “I don’t want to be so fat.”
3. Goals Should Be Positive
If your ultimate goal is to be a professional basketball player, a realistic, specific short-term goal would be to make the varsity basketball ball team.
5. Break Long Term Goals Down Into Smaller Parts
Keeping your written goals where you can see them will help keep you focused on achieving them.

Evaluate your progress towards your goals. Are you doing what needs to be done to meet your goals? If not, what can you do to get back on target?
