Setting Goals for the Coming Season

Establish your goals - Analyze your game - Create a Plan

If you want to improve you have to take a hard look at your game and create a plan.

This is the time of year many of my students and I discuss their goals for the coming season.  Together we analyze their game, identify their strengths and weaknesses and create a plan to reach their goals.

To analyze your game and identify your strengths and weaknesses complete the following Game Analysis Worksheet.

Note:  Be sure not to overrate yourself.  For example, if you normally shoot in the 90's and your Overall Game Analysis is greater than 4.0 you have overrated your skill level in a particuliar phase of your game.  Return to the various phases of your game and reevaluate.
