Setting hockey goals that actually work

Setting hockey goals that actually work31 dec 20256 min

Most hockey goals fail because they're too vague, too big, or have zero accountability built in.

In this episode, I'm breaking down exactly how to set goals that actually stick. The kind that turn into real results on the ice. We'll cover why specificity is everything, why starting small is the secret most players miss, and how to build accountability so you don't just set goals and forget them.

I also get into something called the fresh start effect and why right now might be the perfect time to lock in and finally make it happen.

Takeaways:

-The fresh start effect can boost motivation for goal setting.

-Vague goals often lead to failure; specificity is key.

-Process-based goals are more effective than general goals.

-Focusing on one habit at a time creates momentum.

-Starting small makes it easier to build habits.

-Accountability increases the likelihood of achieving goals.

-Tracking progress helps in assessing improvement.

-Involving trusted individuals can enhance accountability.
