ช่วงนี้เดี้ยงมาสองสามวันนั่งว่างๆ คิดถึงที่พระฤาษีสอนไว้ตอนมาเริ่มipscใหม่ๆ ท่านบอกว่าเมื่อยิงเป็นแล้วเราต้องตั้งเป้าหมายในการยิงของตนเองไว้ด้วย การยิงจึงจะสนุกและพัฒนา วันนี้ได้ไปเจอทิปเกี่ยวกับเรื่องนี้ของตา SAUL KIRSCH จึงขอนำมาให้ปวดหัวกันอีก ดังนี้ครับ
Goal Setting
It is a well documented fact that people who set goals in life achieve more than people who dont. It is also a fact that champions set goals to become champions. No one wins by accident! One wins through dedication to training and progress, while remaining focused on achieving a specific goal.
Setting a goal allows you to put what you want into focus and identify a clear target. This is a very powerful motivator that will keep you on track through the months of effort as you work towards your goal. Setting a goal is also necessary for building a training program. If your program is not geared towards a specific goal, it becomes pointless, and lacks a time frame.
Simply wanting something does not make it a goal. My goal is to shoot better next year is not a good goal statement. You need to be more specific. You need to choose a goal that means something to you, on a personal level. Something that moves you emotionally. That is why a good goal needs to be your personal goal. Not faked or pretended. If you try to achieve something because someone else wants you to, chances are you will not be as motivated.
A goal is not a goal until you have written a detailed plan how to achieve it, and taken the decision to commit yourself. Until then, it remains a wish. Choosing the right goal is critical, and considerable thought should go into the goal selection process. But one thing is very clear: goals that are never set are never reached!
Choosing the right shooting goal for you
The first step is to set the correct goal. This must realistically take into account your current level of shooting, and the amount of time (and money) you can dedicate to your sport.
A true goal has to have a date attached. Without a date, there is no time frame in which to build your plan to achieve that goal. A short term goal can be weeks away, a long term goal, years. And certainly more than one goal can coexist simultaneously. A C class shooter can goal set to win his class at the State championships in 6 weeks time, and simultaneously goal set to win the National championships in 2 years time. As long as he has a separate scheduled plan for each, these two goals can run side by side.
If you set a goal which is too easily accomplished, you lose interest and motivation. You rightfully feel you can achieve that goal without following the plan. A goal set too low does not keep you working to achieve it, and defeats the entire purpose of goal setting.
If you set the goal too high, and build a realistic plan to achieve it, chances are the plan is unworkable and will be discarded. For instance, a C level shooter with one years shooting experience, setting a goal to win the World Championships in 12 months time, will have a real problem realizing his goal. In order to have even a chance at winning the World Shoot, he probably has to shoot 20 international matches, 40 local matches, 300,000 rounds in practice to get his skill level up to the required standard and all this in one year. The plan is unworkable, and therefore will not be followed. It is not a well set goal for this individual, and cannot be achieved.
You need to set a goal that motivates and excites you, and is within reach over the set period of time.
