PERFORMANCE REPORT
SETTING GOALS By JESSEE YOUNG – Performance Reporter
etting goals are one of the key functions in the development of training routines. Good routines prepare the athlete physically and mentally which keeps them competitive and successful which requires both commitment and follow through. First, you have to set goals you can achieve “set a path”. Second, you must stay focused and maintain motivation. Third, learn from your mistakes, keep striving to do better and move forward. Goals are the stepping stones to help organize your dreams and expectations. I took a moment to ask a couple of our region 4 seniors how they stay focused and competitive. Cutter Carpenter tells how he sets his goals and stays focused. “I look at roping like it’s my job, it is not a hobby for

me. I prepare all week so I know when I get to the rodeo I am mentally and physically ready to compete. I am only concerned with making the best run I can on the calf I have drawn. I do not worry about what anyone else does.” Cutter stated “yes, you have to set goals in order to push yourself to be better. Some of the goals I have for this season are to win Region’s in calf roping, qualify for state in calf roping, team roping and make nationals.” CONGRATULATIONS 2018-19 REGION 4 OFFICERS AS PICTURED: Rainey Johnson a senior in Region PRESIDENT- RAINEY JOHNSON, 4 tells how she prepares for her events SECRETARY -JESSEE YOUNG, VICE PRESIDENT- KAITLYN BURKHAM “I spend a lot of time in the practice pen, either working horses or myself, most of the time –I’m doing both. I think to be successful you have to set goals. Goals give you something to work for. Without something to work for it can be hard to keep up.” It’s important when you’re setting goals to set meaningful ones that are both reasonable and achievable and goals that you can succeed with and build upon. It’s important to focus on the outRAINEY JOHNSON come, not the obstacle and never be afraid to push your limits. When an obstacle arises you can change your direction to reach the goal and your decision to get there. Goals are the tools used to motivate your desire or willingness to follow through on to your dreams.
