Effective goal setting for referees is very significant.
You should always do a self-scan which is essential in analyzing your present
officiating status and work on development. Research has given away that goal
setting works greatest if you have long term goals (Bigger picture) in union
with short term goals. What is it you are willing to achieve as referee and why?
Here I map out the basic requirements for goal setting
Achievable
Goals ought to be achievable. A big picture is not
simple to be accomplished at once but the smaller chunks are. A guy who is at
provincial level cannot referee regional games. But what he/she will do is set
goals for the season to referee whatever top game they can according to their grading.
Ensure your goals are realistic, not too difficult but also not too easy to
achieve.
Committed
If you want to accomplish your goals, you ought to
commit yourself to them. Do something on a daily basis and constantly. Training
when your manager isn’t watching is easy, but make sure you’ll also do that
when he’s not. If you are dedicated and you want to work hard you will achieve
your goals.
Believable
Goals should be believable. Each goal will help you
getting to the bigger picture. I work hard off the pitch to ensure I am ready
for my games in the weekend. A referee must believe that he reaches his goals
due to his effort in practice.
Types
of goals: Process vs. outcome goals
The outcome
goals are the long term desires. Regularly they are domino effect of your
actions and are usually the outcome of a competitive event. Good example is
becoming an international referee or getting more high level games at your
current grading level. These are end results which contribute to the bigger picture.
If you want to be an international referee as ultimate goal, you first need to
get to the low-international level games qualifiers. Before that you need reach
the national or regional level and do more important games as well. Without
promotions you won’t make a step up that ladder to get closer to your ultimate
goal.
Process
goals are actions you would like to bring to an end during
a performance. Examples include improving habits, a skill or a part of your technique.
They are hard work that leads to the stimulating stuff.
