Period 4 Weight Training: Goals

"Our goals can only be reached through a vehicle of a plan, in which we must fervently believe, and upon which we must vigorously act. There is no other route to success."


Stephen A. Brennan

We are nearly finished with all of our assessments and are well into our regular workouts. It is time to take a look at our goals. We will pull our sheets out and set goals for each of our assessment areas, but it is impossible for us to focus on all of those goals at once. For this weeks blog, I want you to pick the three areas of assessment that are the most important to you. For example, the goals of a football player are going to be very different than those of an athlete on the cross country team. We can gear your training to focus on those areas that are important to you. This does not mean that you will not improve in the other areas, only that we can tweak your individual program to help you meet your indvidual goals. For this weeks blog, list your three most important goals for the semester.
