Goal Setting

To achieve the goal of breaking a board using a side kick, there are several smaller goals along the way that must be met.

First, you must learn proper technique for executing a side kick.  Use your entire body to back up your leg in order to break the board.  This make the kick much stronger.  Be confident.  See yourself kicking through the board.

Next, you must learn focus.  Direct your eyes, brain and full attention to the task at hand.  Focus on the center of the board when attempting your break.  If you allow your attention to be diverted from your board, you're likely to make a mistake and not accomplish the task.

Speed is the next key.  Breaking a board takes quick, decisive action.  The same is true for many goals you set.  Decide on the best course of action and move!
