Definition
The process of defining specific, measurable improvement targets to guide training focus and track progress. Effective goal setting in padel distinguishes between outcome goals (win a tournament), performance goals (land 80% of serves in the box), and process goals (split-step on every ball).
Common questions
What type of goals should padel players set?
A pyramid works well: 1–2 long-term outcome goals, 3–4 medium-term performance goals, and daily process goals focused on the specific behaviour to change.
How often should I review my padel goals?
Performance and process goals: weekly. Outcome goals: monthly or per tournament cycle. Revisit any goal that consistently goes unmet — either the target or the approach needs adjustment.
