Next, set approximately three midterm goals that you intend to achieve in about six months (or half a season). These goals should be what we like to call process goals, or goals that deal with how you plan on going about doing things. For example, if your long-term goal is to become an all-conference athlete, your midterm process goals might include the following:

 Out-hustle every person on the field.

 Be the best-conditioned athlete on the field.

 Become more offensive minded.

 Immediately let go of mistakes and recover from poor performance.

There is a difference between outcome goals and process goals. Outcome goals are what you’re pursuing, and process goals are how you’re pursuing it. Outcome goals are usually not within your control, but they help guide you to greater heights in sports and are many times the fuel and motivation for you; process goals are completely in your control and help increase the probability that you’ll reach your outcome goals.
