Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to present coaches with guidelines for setting up a goal-setting program. Research in sport and organizational psychology is briefly reviewed to provide a background of empirical support for the positive effects of goal setting on performance along with specifying different types of goals. Goal principles reviewed include making goals specific and measurable, written, realistic/challenging, short and long-term, and both individual and team-oriented. In addition, goals need to have specific implementation plans, be used extensively in practice, and be used in combinations. A case study which focuses on a goal-setting program is presented which highlights the process of goal implementation.
