Featured Article:
When it comes to a discussion on goals I always go back to the simple premise: you can't win the race if you don't know where the finish line is. It may sound trite but it is true. Often people work - and work hard - without a clear idea of where they are going. It's not very productive and I don't think it's fair.
Consider productivity. Without a big picture understanding of what the goal is workers - employees or volunteers - can't set priorities or plan ahead. It's easy to see how that may result in wasted time and energy or frustration on your part. When you have shared goals and everyone works towards them your entire organization is moving forward and building momentum. That's exciting!
Now I'll tell you why I don't think it's fair. Think of yourself as a young employee starting out or a nervous volunteer. Can you remember the frustration of not understanding what was going on around you or not knowing what to do? It leaves you feeling so uncomfortable. That sort of anxiety isn't necessary. Replacing that emotion with one of exhilaration and determination would feel so good. And that leads us right back to productivity - a motivated, happy worker is productive.
Before you set goals you need a very clear idea of your mission. If you have determined that tennis players are strong and confident so you will provide free tennis lessons to children in your community, then you are ready to set goals.
Working with a typical nonprofit setting, I am suggesting that a multi-constituency Team (with representatives from staff, board, volunteers, community members) take ownership and responsibility for a goal.
You will use the same steps each time to set and reach a goal.
- The Team agrees to a goal, aligned with the organization's mission. This goal may be all the Team is responsible for this year. Goals define the work of a Team.
In the case of the free tennis lessons the Team may include parents from the community as well as representatives of the staff, board and volunteers. Their first goal is to locate courts and equipment for the tennis lessons.
- The Team determines individual member responsibilities related to achieving this specific goal. This includes the work of staff members on the Team.
Initial assignments might include one member of the Team contacting local tennis clubs, schools and community center. Others may seek out grants to secure the needed rackets and balls, while others may call on donors and local corporations or begin planning a related fundraising event.
- The Team selects a Goalkeeper. This is a team member with the responsibility for keeping track of progress.
Our tennis Team will set deadlines for each of their assignments based on the longer term goal of beginning to provide lessons in the spring.
- The Team determines the resources necessary to reach the goal. The needed resources may include more Team members or members with particular expertise.
The Team will create a budget so they know how much money they must raise to pay for rackets, balls and safety equipment. They will also look for a tennis pro to join their Team.
- A Team presents its goal with a schedule and budget to the Board or to management for approval or the Goalkeeper may coordinate with other teams working on related goals.
Finally, the Team aligns their goals with teams working on other aspects of the mission. They decide to coordinate fundraising efforts with the other teams and that the team formed to recruit tennis instructors will identify a pro to join this Team.
You will quickly get really good at setting and reaching goals. You can use these steps to solve a problem in which case you might accomplish your goal in one meeting or you might for the Team for a year to reach a longer term goal, like the tennis organization used in the example.
One last thought: keep your mission fresh in everyone's mind. It's the finish line, the ribbon they will break. Accomplishing goals, large or small, feels good.

Tennis Tournament In Puerto Vallarta
Who thought Puerto Vallarta does not have its share of sports? The Canto Del Sol Resort and Tennis Club, once again played host to the ITF Futures professional tennis tournament which was held here in Puerto Vallarta for the second successive year.
As the year before, the ITF (International Federation of Tennis) once again, had a five tournament swing through the beautiful Mexico. The reward for the winners was $10,000 USD and it drew Mexican professionals as well as players from the United States. Players from Italy, Ecuador, Australia, New Zealand, Dominican Republic, Canada, Guatemala, Switzerland and South Africa were also the confirmed contestants in the core draw of 32.
A total number of 18 players were allotted direct entries in addition to 8 wild card entries; out of which, some were given to the professionals of Puerto Vallarta. The hard court surface was used to play on, for this tournament. Great things were expected from Luigi D'Agord of Italy who had made it to the semifinals in the last year tournament. Another player, D'Agord also made it to the semi finals, last year but was beaten by the final winner, Marinko Matosevic. Marinko Matosevic, according to his, Mexican run, the previous year, had moved on to the tournaments with bigger winnings. Another seed is, Cesar Ramirez, a 19 year old Mexican who shows great promise as a player and is also termed as the “youngster in the Mexican pro ranks.”
The battle began on the 9th of May, with qualifying slots available. 8 players out of, about 64 began playing, in order to be a part of the tournament. This battle was wrapped up on May 10th. Many of the Puerto Vallarta professionals qualified for this energetic tournament. There were about 64 players. In the two day qualification it took three successive victories over the exhausting span of two days to attain the main draw. However, the turn out was about 32 qualifying players.
The players that participated from Mexico for the main draw were Cesar Ramirez, Carlos Palencia, who had previously won a tournament in Puerto Vallarta and the well-liked Juan Manuel Elizondo. Manuel Elizondo was a finalist in the earlier three tournaments that were played in Puerto Vallarta and he has also won two pro tournaments. Also three other national players were a part of this tournament for the first time.
The game started early in the morning and finished late in the evenings. Also a doubles component of 16 teams was a part of this magnificent tournament. The schedule of these matches hopefully became less taxing as the players reached the quarterfinals, because only the best reached the semi finals.
All the interested spectators were invited since there was charge for the public. The visitors and the sport lovers got their sport’s gear on and had a lot of fun at the competition!
