    The document discusses different types of tennis players in terms of their characteristics and goals. Success-oriented players want to win, beat others, and be champions, and prefer difficult, individual, and short-term goals. Losers-oriented players are afraid of losing, don't want to be compared to others, lack self-confidence, and prefer easy or difficult, vague, team-based, short-term goals. The document then provides recommendations for an effective goal-setting system for players, including setting long-term goals, timeframes, areas to improve, and monitoring progress. It also discusses common problems with goal-setting like having too many goals, not re-evaluating, or making goals too general or immeas

    confidence.

    A Good system for a player to set goals could be the following:

     Set the long term goal:


    -Where do I want to be?
    -Where am I right now?
    -What do I need to get there?
     Write a time frame : How long it will realistically take?
     Determine which areas to work on.
     Assess present and future ability levels.
     Devise the action steps needed( mid and short term goals) : set some landmarks to
    help the player log the progress towards the goal.
     Monitor and evaluate progress.

    8. PROBLEM AND OBSTACLES IN GOAL SETTING (Harwood, 1996; Weinberg, 1998)

     Too many goals at the same time.


     Failing to re-evaluat goals; player is often afraid to re-evaluate the goals.
     Setting unmeasureabl or too general goals.
     Having no goals or ‘do your best’ goals.
     No strategies of archievement strategies when unexpected things occur (e.g.
    Injuries)
     Only interested in outcome of result goals.
     Inter-relationships between goals: ‘If I play well, I will win. If I win I will enjoy
    playing’.
     Excuses for not doing goal settings:
    -‘Too much time’
    -‘Too much paperwork’
     Player or coach doesn’t believe in goal-setting because they think:
    -They limit the players performance.
    -Performance goals make the playes less competitive.
    -Outcome goals put too much pressure on players.
    -Goals are innate to the players. If player doesn’t have goal already it is a waste of
    time on goal setting.
     Players often refer to academic problems (they are not able to archieve academic
    and tennis goals goals at the same time) and to lack of confidence.
