SMART Goals
SMART goals are a great way to set realistic and achievable goals with your skater that don't rely on competition outcomes or any one specific judge's opinion. Keep in mind that we can never know when a new skill might be achieved, but we can control what we do to set the groundwork for it. Help them focus their goals on things they have control over. (ex: the amount of times they practice a spin, or going back over "easier" skills daily to reinforce their mastery.)
