Goal setting is integrated into athlete training as a fundamental process that guides development and performance. It involves establishing specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, and time-bound (SMART) objectives that provide direction and motivation. Coaches and athletes collaborate to set short-term and long-term goals, aligning training efforts with competitive aspirations. Regularly reviewing and adjusting these goals in response to progress and challenges ensures that athletes stay focused and proactive. Effective goal setting fosters a sense of purpose, drives performance improvement, and enhances mental strength throughout the training journey.
