1. Read the following information on SMART Goals (below).

2. Complete Part A and Part B of the assignment.

SMART Goals
A useful way of making goals more powerful is to use the SMART acronym. While there
are plenty of variants, SMART usually stands for:
· S – Specific (or Significant).
· M – Measurable (or Meaningful).
· A – Achievable (or Action-Oriented).
· R – Relevant (or Rewarding).
· T – Time-bound (or Trackable).
For example, instead of having “to get fitter” as a goal, it's more powerful to say, “to
complete 20 mins of physical activity four times per week”. Obviously, this will only be
achievable if a lot of preparation has been completed beforehand!

Achieving Goals
When you've achieved a goal, take the time to enjoy the satisfaction of having done so.
Absorb the implications of the goal achievement and observe the progress that you've
made towards other goals.
If the goal was a significant one, reward yourself appropriately. All of this helps you build
the self-confidence you deserve.
With the experience of having achieved this goal, review the rest of your goal plans:
· If you achieved the goal too easily, make your next goal harder.
· If the goal took a long time to achieve, make the next goal a little easier.
· If you learned something that would lead you to change other goals, do so.
· If you noticed a deficit in your skills despite achieving the goal, decide whether
to set goals to improve this area.

Part A – Set SMART Goals

Think about our upcoming AFL unit in 9HPE and identify what you perceive will be your
possible strength and areas that you would like to develop.

Areas of Strength: (Identify 1)

1. Noticing spare space and moving into it to create room.

Areas for improvement: (Identify 2)

1. Marking the ball.
2. Hand balling.

Medium Term Goals (By the end of the 9HPE Semester). Write 2 goals that you hope to
achieve by the end of this semester in 9HPE:
1. By the end of this semester, I would like to achieve sprinting long distances for a short
period of time.
2. I would also like to achieve running long distances for a long period of time.

Short Term Goal (next 2 Weeks of the AFL Unit). Write 3 goals for our current topic:
1. I would also like to achieve hand balling the football strongly and over a few meters.
2. By the end of this semester, I would like to achieve kicking the football over long
distances.
3. I would lastly like to achieve kicking with high accuracy.

Dot point below the steps needed to achieve your Short Term goals. (Strategies may relate
to; time management, resilience, commitment, your participation in HPE lessons, etc)

· Time management- to make time to practice.

· Resilience- to never give up and try with 100% effort.

· Commitment- if you want to achieve it, keep your mind set on the achievement.

· Participation- attend HPE lessons that provide equipment to practice.

Who can help support you to achieve your goals and keep you accountable?

· Friends will support me.

· Class mates and teachers will support me.

Part B – Reflection (To be completed at the end of the unit)

Reflect on how successful you were at achieving your short-term goals. (400 words
minimum)
You could use the following dot points to guide your writing
· How did you know you achieved your goals?

· What strategies did you use to achieve your goals? (Did you need to use your
resilience?)

· What worked well?

· What could you have done better?

· What changes could you make to your goal setting process? (E.g. Were your goals
too easily achievable?)

· Were there reasons why you did not achieve your goals?

· How could you modify your goals to make them achievable?

· Who helped you achieve your goals?

Throughout these few weeks of AFL focus, I know I achieved my short term goals as I have carefully observed
my football ability and feel as if I have achieved kicking with high accuracy levels, kicking the football over
long distances and hand balling the football strongly. I achieved these goals by using resilience, participation
and commitment to achieve these goals in high levels of skill at school as well as at home with my brothers.
What strategies that worked well when focusing on achieving my goals were resilience and commitment, as I
found it easy to put 100% effort in and to keeping my mind set on achieving the set goals. What I could have
done better was attend school on the days I had P.E, as I unfortunately had some other commitments at
home on these days. I believe my goal setting procedure worked out well as I achieved my set goals,
therefore would be no reason to change them. The next time that I set goals when focusing on football in
P.E, I will set my goals to be more challenging so that my challenging and achieving skills can grow for the
future when doing sports. Many people helped me to achieve my goals including my teacher (Mr Bruce) as
he gave me feedback when it was needed, my friends and family as they supported me to achieve my goals,
my class mates/team mates as they sometimes gave me tips when needed and lastly, I watched the AFL
footy of TV some nights which gave me a better understanding of how football is played.
