Why do we make goals
O We set goals to help us move forward and give us
a sense of direction.
O They help us be the best that we can be and
make the impossible into the possible
O Setting goals help us achieve what we set out to
do
“ The trouble with not having a goal is that you can
spend your life running up and down the field and
never score.”
-- Bill Copeland
