What Are Your 2010 BJJ and Fitness Training Goals?

Reading through the short article, I pondered all of the New Years resolutions I had made in the past and how many I actually followed through on

. After a wee bit of tough digging and thorough navigation through the corridors of the almighty brain, I came up with no more than a handful. A number so small, the public announcement would be all too embarrassing. I will say this much, I can count them all on my right hand. Again, after reading through the article it made me ask myself why I never thought about applying the thought process of formulating a Resolution. The article displays the acronym as M.A.T., I know it as S.M.A.R.T.! Specific - A specific goal has a much greater chance of being accomplished than a general goal. To set a specific goal you must answer the six "W" questions: *Who: Who is involved?

*What: What do I want to accomplish?

*Where: Identify a location.

*When: Establish a time frame.

*Which:Identify requirements and constraints.

*Why: Specific reasons, purpose or benefits of accomplishing the goal. EXAMPLE: A general goal would be, "Work on my Jiu-Jitsu." But a specific goal would say, "Establish a more aggressive guard." Measurable - Create concrete standard for measuring progress toward the each goal you set. To determine if your goal is measurable, ask questions such as......How much? How many? How will I know when it is accomplished? Attainable - When you identify goals that are most important to you, you begin to figure out ways you can make them come true. You develop the attitudes, abilities, skills, and financial capacity to reach them. You begin seeing previously overlooked opportunities to bring yourself closer to the achievement of your goals. Realistic - To be realistic, a goal must represent an objective toward which you are both willing and able to work. A goal can be both high and realistic; you are the only one who can decide just how high your goal should be. Timely - A goal should be grounded within a time frame. With no time frame tied to it there's no sense of urgency. If you want to lose 10 lbs, when do you want to lose it by? "Someday" won't work. But if you anchor it within a timeframe, "by May 1st", then you've set your unconscious mind into motion to begin working on the goal. It also forces accountability! With all that said, I would strongly encourage you to publicly state our goals in front of others. The act of sharing our goals with others adds social pressure for us to achieve them. Plus, when others know them they can help provide support for us to achieve any and all of our BJJ and fitness goals.
