Set small goals for big changes 09/11/06 By Tony Lance Whether it’s mastering the kick serve or attacking the net more, all of us have something in our game that we’d like to improve upon. But too often when we get into a match we fall back into old, familiar patterns and fail to incorporate the new skills we want to add to our arsenal. What to do? Change is usually best accomplished in small increments; making wholesale adjustments in a short span of time typically doesn’t work. So if you’re trying to remodel some aspect of your game, consider tackling the project by breaking your overall objective down into small, easy-to-achieve, performance-related goals. For example, I’m working on my serve these days, trying to get more power. Rather than make big alterations all at once, I’ve laid out a series of small modifications that will eventually add up to bigger change. The first thing I’m doing is tossing higher and farther in front, and my goal for the next month is to make sure that I place the ball where I want it and extend my tossing arm fully each time. That’s it. Once that becomes automatic I’ll move on to the next step. After a few months, if all goes as planned, my serve should be a little bigger and the new motion fully ingrained. Consider doing the same thing if you want to make changes to your own game. By dividing big goals into smaller, more manageable building blocks, you make the task seem less insurmountable. And that, ultimately, makes the likelihood of succeeding that much greater. |
