As the new year approaches, many people focus on setting resolutions or goals for the coming year. But this time is also a great time to reflect on how things went for you this year. In this episode, we break down how to do an athlete self-assessment to recap your year, and how to use that to help you set goals for the future.
If you'd like to do your own self-assessment, here are the questions we suggest:
1. GOALS
- What were my goals? Were they reasonable? Did I meet them?
- Do I still care about this goal?
- What factors played a role?
2. TRAINING
- Were you consistent?
- What plan did you use and did it work?
- What were your strengths?
- What can you improve on? (THIS is a great place to start thinking about base-building goals)
- What type of training did you like most? When did you have the most fun?
- What type of training did you dread or avoid?
3. LIFE
- Did you have any major life changes/events this year?
- How balanced did you feel?
- How did you navigate this balance
- Any periods you’d want to shift/reconsider in future years?
- Any races or distances you’d want to shift/reconsider in future years?
