15. Goal Setting
Nieland – We’ll have them take out their BLUE goal sheets. Those who don’t have one will get one.

16. Goal Setting—Tip 1 Lyke/Adam
Specific Goals focused on skills
Poor Example 1: I will earn a ribbon at all meets
Poor Example 2: I will do better than I did last year
Great Example: I will show clean and clear characterization through the use of character positions and voices.
Coach Lyke and Adam – IF TIME

17. Goal Setting—Tip 2 Goals should be measurable
Great Example: I will show clean and clear characterization through the use of character positions and voices
How to measure it: By the Farmington meet, no judge will comment on how my character voices/positions are too slow, inconsistent, or ill-fitting
Senior Captains

18. Goal Setting—Tip 3
The steps you’ll take to achieve your goal should also be specific
Poor Example 1: I will practice
Poor Example 2: I will work with a peer
Great Example: I will (1) work with my coach on my protagonist’s accent, (2) watch example videos on YouTube pertaining to vocal variety, (3) practice my piece at home at least 30 min. a day—5 days a week, and (4) ask for tips from __ – my teammate – who already does this well
Coach Adam

19. Goal Setting—Tips 4 & 5 It should be realistic
We will only be focusing on the first half of the season (the four February meets)
Keep in mind your experience level and current skillset
You need people to keep you real – these people may or may not be from your category
