Program Development Series – Game Goal Worksheet

Written by Coach Peterman

I have coached at the NCAA Division 2 (Southwestern Oklahoma State University), NAIA (USAO), and JUCO Levels (Blinn College and Carl Albert State College) as well as high school. I just felt that fellow coaches especially young coaches need to constantly work on their “game”. Just like the basketball players that we coach. We as coaches need to improve ourselves. That is my story and why I do this blog.

Program Development Series – Game Goal Worksheet by Brian Rea

Another area of importance in developing a program to have current and lasting success is setting goals. There are many areas and aspects of your program that you can and should set goals for, but the one I am focusing on for this particular article is developing a Game Goal Worksheet.

This worksheet is something that we print up prior to a game, and it is specific to the opponent we are playing. Many coaches have the same goals for each game…which is fine…but we feel that we get the most out of our goals if we try to make them specific, attainable and realistic in regards to our opponent. Sometimes that would mean making the goals smaller or simpler to attain them versus a superior opponent, or making them more challenging when we are the superior team OR when we want to raise our level of play. Either way, we try to make these goal worksheets relevant and something that the players don’t just “dismiss” as the “same old thing”.

Hopefully this Game Goal Worksheet will aid in the development and use of your own type of game goals to put in your locker room at Home AND ON THE ROAD! Wishing you continued success in developing your program, and as the Holiday Tournaments approach!

Best Swishes!
