Getting Past Challenges to Find Success Explain three challenges or barriers to meeting your SMART goals:
I procrastinate a lot. Whenever i have a big project i usually tell myself it's fine i'll do it tomorrow and i'm always in a rush to finish it. If i put off working out i wont improve and i won't be able to achieve my goals.
I get lots of homework. In most of my classes i get homework everyday and it usually takes me an hour or more to finish it. When you add tests and projects into the mix i barely have any time to do other things.
I’m constantly tired. On weekdays I go to bed pretty late and then i have to wake up at six to get to school in the morning. When i am tired I’m not in a good mood and don't feel like doing anything productive.

Explain three strategies you can use to overcome these challenges or barriers:

    Fitness and Goal Setting Knowledge Fitness and goal setting have been the main topic of conversation in this class. Whether we need to work on legs or arms today, or what we are going to do in the future. I learned that it is better to do quantity over quality when it comes to fitness workouts, and that it is always important to stretch and warm up your muscles before a workout to ensure you do not strain any muscles. For goal setting, I learned that if you pick a specific goal that you wish to achieve, like say to reach +10 in the fitness flexibility test, you can keep working towards that goal step by step, or in this case number by number, to reach your goals efficiently. When reaching towards a goal, you cannot just make it in one try…

    1.My goal is to improve my muscular strength so I will hit 10 homeruns over the fence this softball season. I will do this by doing anaerobic exercises and lifting weights, I will practice on my batting trainers, and by doing core stability training. 2.Last season with my first travel softball team I hit 3 homeruns over the fence (March 15th - August 21st).

So far, I noticed that I made progress in improving my technique as well as having a clearer focus while learning the combinations in class.
