Goal Setting What Works, What Doesn’t, and What Actually Drives Performance

Goal setting is supposed to improve motivation, focus, and performance, but what happens when your goals actually start working against you?

In this episode of You Don’t Know Jack, Dr. Jack Groppel and Dr. Haley Perlus explore the good, the bad, and the ugly of goal setting. We break down when goals help, when they create unnecessary pressure, and why knowing WHAT you want and WHY you want it may not be enough.

From outcome goals and performance goals to the daily behaviors that actually move you forward, this conversation challenges some traditional goal-setting advice and offers a more practical approach to achieving meaningful results.

Whether you’re an athlete, coach, leader, or simply working toward something important, you’ll learn how to use goals without letting the goal get in the way of your performance.

Life is hard. Let’s prepare for it.

Subscribe to You Don’t Know Jack for conversations about performance, mindset, resilience, purpose, and preparing for the moments that matter.
