The beginning of a season can be an almost
magical time for a lot of people. The fact that athletes haven’t competed for a
while and don’t know exactly how they stack up against others helps generate a lot of goal setting and planning, so with an entire season ahead of you, now is the time to let your imagination fly
and work toward having the best season ever while setting some personal
records! Push yourself to let the promise of a new season take you to places
(or paces) you have never been to before!
It is good to set your goals at the beginning of the season so that you always have a direction that you are training toward the entire season, but you can always reevaluate and alter your goal based on the first couple of meets if necessary. Dreaming big is important, but don’t set a goal that is impossible for you to reach, because that will only lead to discouragement and frustration toward the middle of the season if you aren’t on track to reaching your goal.
In addition, one must always remember that at the beginning of the season it will usually take some time to get back into the swing of things and reach the times that you were able to hit at last year. So don’t get discouraged too easily or let your goals fall by the way side, just keep your head up and reach for the stars this season!
