Scenarios
The captain of the
Netherlands cricket team
states that their team is going
to make an impact in the
ongoing ICC World Cup
2023.
Aiden Markram, a player of
the South Africa cricket team,
aims to hit a century in every
match he plays in the ICC
ODI World Cup 2019.
Shahnawaz has a cricket
match next week. He has
decided that he’ll practice
bowling for 3 days for 4
hours, fielding for 2 days for
3 hours, and special catching
practice for 1 day for 3 hours
before the match.
Identification Justification
This is an outcome goal
because it focuses on the
overall result (making an
impact in the ICC World Cup
Outcome Goal 2023), representing a
collective aspiration rather
than specifying individual
actions or behaviors. The
outcome is influenced by
various external factors and
the performance of the entire
team.
This is a performance goal as
Aiden Markram is setting a
specific level of personal
achievement (hitting a
Performance Goal century) in each match. It
emphasizes individual skill
and effort, highlighting a
measurable and controllable
target for personal success
within the team context.
These are process goals as
they outline specific actions
(practicing bowling, fielding,
and catching) that Shahnawaz
Process Goal plans to undertake. Process
goals are within his control
and contribute directly to skill
development and preparation
for the upcoming match,
emphasizing the importance
of focused and targeted
practice.

title) without detailing the
Outcome Goal specific actions or behaviors

achieve it. The outcome is
dependent on various factors,
including Taha's performance
and the judgment of
tournament organizers or
judges.
