Select one:

a. specific

 b. realistic

c. extremely difficult in order to push the athlete to greatness

d. measurable

Answer 1

Hi, Ela,

This question references a strategy for creating goals known as SMART goals. SMART goals are (S) specific, (M) measurable, (A) attainable, (R) realistic, and (T) time-bound. By constructing goals in this way, the aim is to break our larger goals down into smaller parts. By doing this, we can more easily track our progress, and we avoid feeling too overwhelmed by a daunting task.

With this in mind, that's why answer choice (C) is correct, since a SMART goal would involve us breaking down that really difficult goal into more manageable, short-term chunks.

I hope this helps!
