Setting and Pursuing Goals

Each week our participants experience one of our 6 Life Skills and 6 Golf Cues. Our life skills cover everything from showing respect, to collaborating with others, growing through challenges, making good choices, building a positive self-identity, and setting goals.

For example, participants learn that goal setting is about creating a repeatable system that includes making and tracking smaller steps in the pursuit of something big. Whether they’re aiming for a personal best on the course or working toward a goal at school or at home, they learn how preparation, reflection, and perseverance lead to progress.

Here’s what one participant had to say about learning goal setting through First Tee:

“Setting goals is like laying out a path to improve and achieve anything you want. When I set a goal, I can easily visualize my progress. It boosts my mental well-being and helps me move forward. Through my time with First Tee, I feel like I’ve not only gotten better at golf but also grown as a person. I’ve learned how to set short-term and long-term goals as steps to achieve my final goal along with my coaches and friends.” – Nico Hernandez

Fun with Intention

Each week our participants experience one of our 6 Life Skills and 6 Golf Cues. Our life skills cover everything from showing respect, to pursuing goals, making good choices, building a positive self-identity, overcoming challenges, and collaborating with others. We strive to integrate the skills seamlessly through games and activities that make classes and learning fun. After all, we learn best when we are engaged and having fun.

We believe having fun means feeling included, having positive and supportive coaches, and staying active through games that help reinforce the skills. In our most recent survey, 98% of our participants said they had fun, 98% felt their coach kept them active, 97% felt part of the group, 96% felt their golf skills improved and 90% felt they improved their life skills. We change up our games each season so there is always something new for the participants to enjoy each season.
