Inspired by USA Triathlon's article on Goal Writing... I have decided to make a few official goals.
Now the article is great, but I also know a few goal writing tricks from physical therapy school. And since I am just a little dorky at times, I am going to write my Triathlon 2013 goals using the preferred method by most academic institutions.
ABCD Technique... A for Audience, B for Behavior, C for Condition, D for Degree...
...while following these simple rules...
1. Observable and measurable
2. Specific Results
3. Qualitative and quantitative criteria
4. Demonstrates success and performance improvements
And just to make it challenging... I will write at least one for each domain - Cognitive, Psychomotor, Affective, Interpersonal.
OK - deep breathe - here I go.
COGNITIVE
I will be able to change my bike tire tube without any verbal and tactile cues in under 2 minutes.
PSYCHOMOTOR
I will complete a 1/2 Ironman triathlon within 2013.
AFFECTIVE
I will compile a full athletic portfolio and resume and send it to a company sponsorship application.
INTERPERSONAL
I will present a Learning Meet-up on Injury prevention within the community.
Might be dorky, but I just love when you can apply one area of knowledge to enhance a different skill set.
<3 <3 2013. Happy New Year.
