Goals....Stay on top of your goal setting. Meghan Gaab share's her goals particularly for this weekend below. Wish her luck for the upcoming Women's Single Trials!
This Thursday I am heading up to Princeton, NJ for the Men’s and Women’s Single Trials. This regatta is being run to select the Men and Women’s Singles that will represent the US at the World Cup Races throughout the spring. The races begin 7am on Friday morning with a time trial, where we are sent down the course one at a time, in a race against the clock. In order to even have the chance to advance to the A, B or C Finals, I need to place in the top 18 out of 28 coming out of the time trial. So I can’t leave anything on the race course from the first stroke I take.
Coming out of the fall season I was placed 16th. Leading up to this race my team has done a lot of work with mental preparation and goal setting. For the first time in the 10+ years I have been rowing and racing, I had to organize and write down my “Race Plan” beginning the night before the race and ending with picking my boat out of the water. Going into this race I have set a few different goals for myself. All but one of them depends on my actions and focus over the three days of racing. My performance goals are to maintain the technical changes I have been working on under the pressures of racing, to solidify my race plan and have confidence in my preparation. My outcome goals are to place in the top 12 and enter into the spring and summer racing season as someone to watch. This is my first sprint race in about a year and I am excited and READY! I am only one day into my taper and I am already getting antsy! -Meghan Gaab
GOOD LUCK MEGHAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!
