Frank's goal was to play basketball 3 times per week for 1.5 hours each session. He would track his progress using a phone alarm. This goal was realistic since he already regularly played basketball with his roommates. Over 9 weeks, Frank tracked playing basketball 3 times per week for the first 5 weeks. After that, he started playing floor hockey on Mondays and Wednesdays, which he counted as fulfilling his basketball goal. His roommates both helped and hindered his ability to meet his goal by sometimes joining him for basketball and other times having other plans. In the end, Frank felt he mostly accomplished his goal of regularly playing basketball or a similar sport 3 times per week.

2. Smart goal
• S- I will play basket ball 3 times a week, for an hour and a half
• M- I will measure this by setting an alarm to go off on my
phone when the hour and a half is up
• A- I am very busy during the day so to hang out with my
friends and roommates we like to go to the hub or pe center to
play basketball. I feel that this is attainable because my
roommates will convince me to go on days I don’t want to.
• R-this goal is realistic because we already play basket ball. We
are just going to have to set three specific days to go like
Wednesday Friday and Sunday.
• T- I are going to continue to play basketball for the remainder
of this semester. This will end December 14

3. Reasons and steps
• The reasons I chose this goal is because me and
at leas one of my roommates already played
basketball a few times a week so it seemed
feasible to go 3 times a week.
• The steps i used to accomplish my goal is to
flexible to when my roommates wanted to play.
Once intramural floor hockey started I stopped
playing basketball during the week and played
hockey.

5. Graph explanation
• For the first 5 weeks a played basketball
regularly 3 times a week except in week 3 when I
was out of town
• After week 5 I started to play floor hockey and
basket ball. I played on 2 floor hockey teams on
Monday and Wednesday and the games are
about 45 min
• So I separated the different game plays because
it takes 2 floor hockey games to equal a basket
ball game length

6. Steps used to achieve my goal
• The steps I had to achieve my goal was to go
every Monday and Wednesday and once on the
weekend. The weeks that I achieved my goal is
the ones i actually played on the weekend.
• The times I didn’t achieve my goals is when I
didn’t play on the weekend

7. Inhibitors and enablers
• I feel my roommates were both Inhibitors and
enablers. I feel this way because at least one
would go to basketball with me and one always
goes to hockey too. Then on the weekends some
times no one wonted to play so that would make
me not want to go either.
• Then one of my roommates wanted me to go on
trips on the weekend a few times so that made it
so we didn’t play.

8. Results
• For the most part I feel that I accomplished my
goal because I always did other things besides
the 2 sports I played.
• I also thought that I did a good job making
changes to my goal because of the gym being
closed for for floor hockey. So I started playing
that on 2 of my friends teams
• I feel great for accomplishing my goal
