set some personal goals for the upcoming fencing season

Well the season is done. I’ll have to do some comparative analysis with performance metrics over last season to see if there was any improvement (i think there was) and I can mark this thing “done”. Preparations now begin for next season.

Well last season ended well and the upcoming season is close upon us. I’ve been invited to join the High Performance group this year which is going to mean a bucketload of training (omg- where am i gonna find time for this???) but I think it’ll be fun.

Goal setting is always tricky – you need to set achievable but challenging ones. I think my overall goal this year will be to place better in the final AFL rankings, and to place better in the open division of the tournaments. I’m usually in or near the top 8 but I’d like to get another open medal (or two ;) that will be quite challenging but I don’t think it’s too far out of reach. I’m going to really have to work on mental preparation skills and refine my technical skills to even hope to meet these goals.
