  1. 1

    What does SMART stand for in the Eduqas approach?

    Model answer

    SMART stands for specific, measurable, agreed, realistic and time-phased.

  2. 2

    Why should a goal be specific?

    Model answer

    A specific goal states exactly what must be achieved. Vague goals such as 'play better' give no clear direction.

  3. 3

    Why should a goal be measurable?

    Model answer

    A measurable goal can be checked for progress. Progress can be measured in times, distances or scores.

  4. 4

    Why should a goal be agreed?

    Model answer

    A goal agreed between performer and coach increases commitment. The performer feels ownership of the target.

  5. 5

    Why should a goal be realistic?

    Model answer

    A realistic goal can be achieved with effort and the resources available. Unrealistic goals lead to failure and demotivation.

  6. 6

    Why should a goal be time-phased?

    Model answer

    A time-phased goal has a deadline. Deadlines create urgency and allow progress to be reviewed.
