The importance of sports goals

It is possible that you have not stopped to think about organizing your season, that is, to establish the objectives that you want to achieve in this new year.

We explain the importance it has for the day to day of your workouts and we help you establish them.

Reasons why you should plan your goals

Reflect on the starting point

 Set a destination point it will make you look for the way to get there and reflect on the starting point where you are This way you can know what you have right now and what you need to get there.

 You will stay motivated in your workouts since you have chosen where you want to go.

When we do not set a goal, it may be irrelevant to skip a laziness training or not do it at the appropriate intensity, since we do not value that each day counts towards the final objective.

Find small intermediate steps

 You will look for small intermediate steps to overcome before reaching the final goal, that in addition to staying motivated, they will help you to know if the path you are taking is the right one and if you are prepared for the end, thus avoiding exposing yourself to failure when the preparation is not adequate.

 You can set alternatives along the way or even in the objective if the need arises.

Take into account extra sports factors

There are many factors (personal, family, work) that can make you change the objective or postpone it to ensure you face it with greater guarantees of success, taking it into account during the process is very important to avoid frustration.

 Considerations for setting the objectives

 Realistic and attainable goals.

To meet these adjectives you must consider challenges that you think you can achieve both for your level in sport and for the aspects you must meet to achieve it (time, economy, sacrifices, logistics, etc.).

 Measurable Objectives

The mind has the power to play tricks on our mood, so it will be necessary that in addition to measuring and recording your feelings, you have objective data that allows you to evaluate the process and the result.

 Specific objectives.

Ambiguity is not related to satisfactory results, so we advise you to be as specific as possible when proposing your goals.

 Without a doubt, the objectives and sporting challenges can be very personal but the help of a professional both in its establishment and in the elaboration and monitoring of the process, is the key to success.
