The process of defining specific, measurable improvement targets to guide training focus and track progress
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).
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.
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.
