Goal-setting can significantly impact physical training outcomes by providing direction and focus. SMART goals—Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, and Time-bound—encourage individuals to track progress and stay motivated. When athletes set clear goals, they are more likely to maintain consistency and commitment. This structured approach can lead to improved performance, increased strength, and better overall results. Furthermore, goal-setting creates a psychological framework that enhances intrinsic motivation, pushing individuals to challenge their limits while celebrating small victories along the way.
