Your short-term goals are ones that take one to six months and directly feed into your midterm goals. The accomplishment of the short-term goals is necessary for the success of the midterm goals. For example, if your midterm goal is to be the best-conditioned athlete on the field, you could set the following short-term goals:

 Run 2 miles in 12 minutes.

 Run the 40-yard dash in less than 5 seconds.

 Improve my leg strength.

 Practice my post-mistake mental-toughness routine every day in training.

These are sometimes called “performance” goals — where you attach actual statistics to the goal, such as running the 40-yard dash in under 5 seconds.
