*Thursday Thinking Tennis*
Week 6
We are pleased to be sharing our next thought in the process of developing and improving your programme within your club. From finding our blind spots, to understanding areas that work well or need improvement and prioritising these areas using a RAG rating the next step is to set your goals for improving the offering available.
Goals need to be SMART to be most effective, which means they need to be Specific, Measurable, Agreed, Realistic, and Timed.
So, you could set a goal and say we want increase membership, or we want to provide better coaching but without more details these goals are not effective and who knows if you are achieving them or if you have influenced the outcome.
A SMART goal would look more like this:
The committee or club management agree that they want to have 50 new members, (broken down into 20 new beginners, 15 juniors and 15 intermediate social players) 6 months from now.
By setting a more specific and SMART goal, everyone can focus on how they will achieve this, the strategy for this to be achieved and whether they have been successful at the end of the 6-month period. At the end of the 6 months the goal may have been reached but it also may not, either way a new plan can be set. By reviewing after the time-period set you will be able to understand what was successful and what needs to be improved or changed in the future.
