Here are potential responses to the extension questions: 1. The 5 principles of Goal Setting are: Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Realistic, Time-bound (SMART) 2. The 'specific' principle means that goals should be clear and unambiguous, with details on exactly what is to be achieved. 3. Amber's goal of increasing upper body strength could be measurable by tracking how much weight she can lift for a certain number of repetitions of an exercise over time (e.g. bicep curls). 4. Olly's target to run a marathon in 6 weeks when he hasn't started training yet is unlikely to be achievable or realistic.

2. LEARNING OBJECTIVE
• To understand the effect of intrinsic motivation
and extrinsic motivation and how they can be used
in physical activities.
• To develop knowledge of the principles of
SMARTER goal-setting (Specific, Measurable,
Agreed, Realistic,Time-phased, Exciting,
Recorded).
• To be able to apply knowledge of goal-setting to
suggest appropriate use of SMARTER targets in
physical activities.
• To understand how goal-setting can be used as a
means to control anxiety.

3. LEARNING OUTCOME
• Student will be able to understand the effect of
intrinsic motivation and extrinsic motivation and
how they can be used in physical activities.
• Student will be able to develop knowledge of the
principles of SMARTER goal-setting (Specific,
Measurable, Agreed, Realistic,Time-phased,
Exciting, Recorded).
• Student will be able to be able to apply knowledge
of goal-setting to suggest appropriate use of
SMARTER targets in physical activities.

5. Goal Setting
Having relevant goals helps participants of all types
in physical activity and sport.
They are useful for novices and experienced
performers, for people who take part for health and
wellbeing and for those who are very competitive
Think Q (be ready to answer)
What sporting goals have you set yourself
before?

7. Performance
Goal
• All about improvement
• Did you get better than
you once were?
• Did you set a small
target to improve your
overall performance?
• Used by beginners/ not
as experienced
• All about the end result
• ‘How can I get a 5 / 7 / 9
in GCSE Pe?’
• You may use
performance goals to
assist with the outcome

Two types of Goals:

8. Task:
You have two types of performers:
- A beginner badminton player playing against a
more experienced player.
- An elite javelin thrower at the Olympic Games
1. Set a performance goal for each performer
2. Set an outcome goal for each performer

9. SMART Goals
Research has shown that goal setting is a
tremendously powerful method for enhancing
performance, but it must be properly
implemented! There are key principles that
are necessary for effective goal setting known
as ‘SMART’:
• Specific
• Measurable
• Achievable
• Realistic
• Time-bound

11. Specific
• Specific goals can influence behaviour more
effectively than ‘do your best’ or general
goals; this means that the athlete knows
what they are working towards and when
they have reached the goal.
• An example of a general goal would be “I
want to improve my goal keeping
performance”, this is very ambiguous as
there is no performance indicator. A more
specific goal would be “I want to keep a clean
sheet in the next match”, this makes it clear
for the performer and directs behaviour
towards this target.

12. Measurable
• Measurable goals require the goal to have
some form of quantitative score such as a
set time, distance or number of places in
the league.These goals should be written
down so the performer can easily track
them and compare them to previous
performances.

13. Achievable
• It is important that goals stretch and
challenge you but are possible to achieve
still. Setting unachievable goals can make
you feel demotivated and you are less
likely to achieve your goal. For example
running an extra 100m in the Cooper Run
Test after 6 weeks training is achievable
but running a full marathon after 4 weeks
of running distances of six miles is probably
not so much!

14. Realistic
• A goal may be well achievable in theory,
but if is is to be achievable in practice you
need to have the time and resources to
complete it. For example ‘ I want to get
stronger biceps by being able to curl an
additional 3kg after a six week training
programme’ may be achievable but if the
gym is not open at suitable times or is too
far away/expensive then this may not be so
realistic!
• Realistic means means that you should
always have the necessary equipment,
facilities, time and resources to achieve the
goal.

15. Time-Bound
• Does the goal have a time limit? If not it is
easier to put off achieving it indefinitely.
Setting a deadline to achieve each goal is
important for example, a PEP runs for 6-8
weeks so is time-bound, as the goals have to
be achieved within the set number of weeks.
• Olympic athletes who trained for Rio 2016
set themselves lots of short term
performance targets which built on the
previous targets.
• Each single target was achieved within a few
months but to achieve all of the targets took
them many years of training.
• They did this to gradually get better with the
long term goal of getting into team GB for
the Olympic Games. Most of the athletes
who managed this trained for at least 4 years
to do so.

16. You need to be able to explain what each letter in the
term SMART means and to give examples of how you
might apply them.
Draw & Complete the table below setting yourself
relevant targets for the three sports you are being
assessed in for GCSE PE.

17. Example (Cooper RunTest)
• Specific:Your goal may be to run 100m further by the time
you do your second CooperTest run.
• Measurable: Running an additional 100m in the Cooper test
can be measured.
• Achievable:An extra 100m is achievable if you train
properly for 6 weeks.
• Realistic: An extra 100m after 6 weeks of training is realistic
because you have the facilities, time, equipment and
resources to do it.
• Time-bound:You have set a 6 week training programme to
achieve the extra 100m so the goal is time-bound, ie you
have 6 weeks to achieve it.

19. Setting &
Reviewing
Targets
Completing fitness tests prior to writing a SMART goal helps
you to evaluate your current levels of fitness..
Setting the right targets leads you to correct training
methods.
Continuously review your progress towards meeting your
goals once they have been set  this means you can adapt
goals to ensure you get the greatest benefit and feel
motivated!
