This lesson helps you think about where you have come from, where you want to go next and what will help you get there.
Start by reflecting on your own performance journey. What progress have you already made? What is your ultimate goal? Where do you want to go next? What drives you to achieve?
A useful performance goal focuses on what you can improve and how you can work on it. The lesson uses examples to show how a broad ambition can be turned into something specific and practical.
The Bullseye helps you choose specific skills that need improvement and rate where you are now. You can then identify the next realistic step rather than trying to improve everything at once.
Pause the video when prompted and complete your own Bullseye in the downloadable activity.
Use the action plan to add a timeframe, identify the skill you want to improve, note your current Bullseye rating and describe what you will do to move forward.
Performance rarely happens alone. Think about the parents, coaches, teachers and other people who help you train, travel, prepare and persist. Mapping your support team can help you recognise the contribution of others and understand who can support each part of your goal.
This animated lesson runs for approximately eight minutes and is designed to be used with the downloadable Goal Setting Module.
This Power Up® module helps children aged 10 to 16 turn a broad ambition into a clear performance goal and identify practical steps to move towards it.
The animation begins by asking children to reflect on their own journey, including the progress they have already made, where they want to go next and what motivates them. It then introduces a simple way to define a goal by focusing on what they want to improve and how they will work on it.
This is Lesson 1 in the six-module Power Up® performance psychology course. It can also be purchased and completed on its own.
Children will usually get more from the activity when a parent, coach or teacher helps them connect the Bullseye and action plan to a real skill they are currently working on.
