1. One way to maintain focus is to set process goals for each practice or competition.
2. The athlete will have an overall goal for which the athlete will identify a number of process goals which help focus on specific aspects of the task.
3. For each of these goals the athlete can use a trigger word (a word which instantly refocuses the athlete’s concentration to the goal) e.g. sprinting technique requires the athlete to focus on being tall, relaxed, smooth and to drive with the elbows – trigger word could be “technique”
