Special Olympics Rhythmic Gymnastics Coaching Guide Planning a Rhythmic Gymnastics Training & Competition Season

Athletes with or without an intellectual disability may be more motivated by accomplishing short-term goals than long-term goals; however, do not be afraid to challenge athletes. Include athletes in setting their personal goals. There are participation factors that may influence motivation and goal setting: Age appropriateness Ability level Readiness level Athlete performance Family influence Peer influence Athlete preference Performance Goals versus Outcome Goals Effective goals focus on performance, not outcome. Performance is what the athlete controls. Outcomes are frequently controlled by others. An athlete may have an outstanding performance and not win a competition because other athletes have performed even better. Conversely, an athlete may perform poorly and still win if all other athletes perform at a lower level. If an athlete’s goal is to finish a routine with the music at a competition, the athlete has more control over achieving this goal than winning. This performance goal ultimately gives the athlete more control over her performance. Motivation through Goal Setting Goal setting has proved to be one of the most simple and effective motivational devices developed for sport within the past three decades. While the concept is not new, today the techniques for effective goal setting have been refined and clarified. Motivation is all about having needs and striving to have those needs met. How can you enhance an athlete's motivation? 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. Provide more time and attention to an athlete when she is having difficulty learning a skill. Reward small gains of achievement in skill level. Praise the athlete’s effort toward improving skills. Develop measures of achievement other than winning awards at competition. Show your athletes that they are important to you. Show your athletes that you are proud of them and excited about what they are doing. Instill a sense of self-worth in your athletes.

Goals give direction. They tell us what needs to be accomplished. They increase effort, persistence and the quality of performance. Establishing goals also requires that the athlete and coach determine techniques for how to achieve those goals. Measurable and Specific Effective goals are measurable and specific. Goals stated in the form of "I want to be the best that I can be!" or "I want to improve my performance!" are vague and difficult to measure. It is positive sounding but difficult, if not impossible, to assess whether these goals have been reached. To be realistic, measurable goals must establish a baseline of performance recorded during the past one or two weeks. Difficult, but Realistic Effective goals are perceived as challenging, not threatening. A challenging goal is one perceived as difficult but attainable within a reasonable amount of time and with a reasonable amount of effort or ability. A threatening goal is one perceived as being beyond one's current capacity. Realistic implies that judgment is involved. Goals based upon a baseline of performance recorded during the past one or two weeks are likely to be realistic. Long- versus Short-Term Goals Both long- and short-term goals provide direction, but short-term goals appear to have the greatest motivational effects.
