I think that goal setting is absolutely critical for anyone who's trying to make a significant improvement in any area. In swimming, our sport is kind of tailor-
made for goal setting because we have times, which are really the things we
spend most of our time thinking about. No one sets up a plan that goes 100
percent according to the way that you set it up. Your goals are basically just
your road map and your coach is your GPS. And sometimes you just get off
the tracks. And that's when you really have to start thinking about, "What are
the ways that I can change either my lifestyle or the way I'm approaching
things to get back where I want to go." I have found that swimmers, when they
lack motivation, one of two things has occurred: they either don't have goals
that are exciting and meaningful, or they've lost track of those goals. So my
job as a coach is to refocus them - either come up with goals that are
something that they can achieve, or get them back in contact with the goals
they had previously set that maybe for whatever reason they have kind of lost
track of. So I think goals are a very important coaching tool and something
that we take very seriously.

Read the following scene from trifles. sheriff (chuckling). married to the law. (moves toward the other room.) i just want you to come in here a minute, george. we ought to take a look at these windows. county attorney (scoffingly). oh, windows! sheriff. we’ll be right out, mr. hale. (hale goes outside. the sheriff follows the county attorney into the other room. then mrs. hale rises, hands tight together, looking intensely at mrs. peters, whose eyes take a slow turn, finally meeting mrs. hale’s. a moment mrs. hale holds her, then her own eyes point the way to where the box is concealed. suddenly mrs. peters throws back quilt pieces and tries to put the box in the bag she is wearing. it is too big. she opens box, starts to take the bird out, cannot touch it, goes to pieces, stands there . sound of a knob turning in the other room. mrs. hale snatches the box and puts it in the pocket of her big coat. enter county attorney and sheriff.) county attorney (facetiously). well, henry, at least we found out that she was not going to quilt it. she was going to—what is it you call it, ladies! mrs. hale (her hand against her pocket). we call it—knot it, mr. henderson. what changes might a director or screenwriter make to the original version of this scene in order to best emphasize the mood? cut dialogue from the scene to make it a more appropriate length update the setting to appeal to a more modern-day audience omit the actions of the characters to avoid confusion and chaos include the use of lighting, camera angles, and sound effects
