Goal Setting for the Olympics and Life

Athletes are usually good at setting goals. This is part of their conditioning within any sports programme.

You’ve likely heard of "SMART goals". But do you always apply the rules? The simple fact is that for any goal to be achieved it must be designed to be SMART, both in sport and in life, in general.

During his 13 year rowing career, Adam Kreek won over 60 medals; 27 in international competitions, with 43 of these being gold medal or first place performances. After a disappointing loss at the Athens Olympic Games in 2004, Adam and his team powered their way to a gold medal at Beijing in 2008. Following his Olympic career, Adam was named Athlete Leader of the Year at the prestigious Canadian Sports Awards and was elected to the Canadian Olympic Committee to direct sports policy in Canada.

Adam speaks quite candidly about setting goals, taking that shot and achieving targets. He is an inspiration to new and veteran Olympians and shares his experiences and story of what it took to get himself and his team on the podium for gold!
