Setting realistic and achievable goals is a core coaching responsibility.Help athletes understand that:
- Progress is rarely linear; setbacks happen.
- Focus on process goals (e.g., consistent training, good nutrition) over just outcome goals.
- Patience and consistency are paramount.
- Not every race will be a personal best.
