Reviewing own performance

Reflecting on Personal Performance

Understanding the objectives: Clarify the end goals of every session or activity, learning how this fits into the broader context of your outdoor adventures.
Self-awareness: Build an awareness of your own strengths and weaknesses. Identify what you excel at and where improvements could be made.
Honest appraisal: Make a commitment to honest self-appraisal. It’s often tempting to downplay our mistakes or overplay our successes, but balanced evaluation is vital.

Seeking feedback: Actively seek feedback from others, such as instructors, peers, or trainers. Outside perspectives are valuable in identifying both visible and hidden problems.
Understanding feedback: Learn to understand and interpret feedback constructively. Focus on what you can learn from it, not whether it’s positive or negative.
Implementing feedback: Use the feedback received to make necessary changes. This could involve learning new skills, improving existing ones, or changing behavioural patterns.

SMART goals: Set Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, and Time-bound (SMART) goals for improvement. They provide clear direction and a framework for assessing progress.
Consistent practice: Build regular, consistent practice into your routine. This is the best way to improve skills, fitness levels, and endurance.
Regular reviews: Carry out regular reviews of your progress against your set goals. This helps to ensure that you are staying on track and allows for adjustments as necessary.
Celebrating achievements: Acknowledge and celebrate when you reach your goals. This can help to increase motivation and provide a sense of accomplishment.
