I loved this course.  I think this will be very helpful for coaches in setting goals and I think it will be especially valuable for athletes, physical prep coaches, and Get Buffed students because examples of them were used throughout the course! Incredible.—Tom Legath, L9 KSI Coach, LA USA

KSI SMART Goals Course Testimonial From George Stavrou December 24 2023 I’ve had the pleasure of following the teachings of Coach Ian King for several decades. I’ve also had the opportunity to see him in person on numerous occasions to learn more about his philosophy. Coach King has been training athletes in a variety of disciplines for the better part of Five Decades He has put together an incredible course – KSI SMART Goals – that covers what he’s learned over the years by working with high-achieving individuals, teams and organizations. I was fortunate enough to get a copy of this course and am currently following his incredible and insightful suggestions with my New Year’s resolutions for 2024! This is a fantastic resource that is worth the investment in yourself to help you reach your full potential in pretty well any area of life. It comes with my HIGHEST OF RECOMMENDATIONS!–George Stavrou, CAN

I enjoyed how this course was put together, and made more relevant to me in the physical preparation industry. Often times we may read or learn about something but not sure how it applies to us. This is definitely relatable and is more impactful!—Vic Chan, L6 KSI Coach, Singapore

Dear Team KSI, I wanted to extend my appreciation and gratitude to you all for the selfless gift you have shared with me, it is an honor to learn from one of the pioneers of the industry.–Sulaiman

I have been exposed to the SMART goal-setting concept before.

It is a concept that was taught during my initial fitness instructor qualification and featured in subsequent courses. It was a concept that was taught to use with clients when they started a fitness programme. I was also made aware of the concept for weight loss programmes made popular in the media and within the fitness industry.

Smart goal setting was introduced for British Triathlon(BTF) coaches in the BTF coach education programmes both for coaches and for athletes. I did not feel that this was a strong area in my coaching at this time and feedback from some athletes reflected this.

The third area that I have been exposed to the concept was as part of the neurolinguistic programming courses I attended as part of my independent study. Goalsetting was a part of timeline creation.

Until the KSI program, I had lost the habit of goal setting in any detail. I have historically set athletic goals for myself but only in a loose sense and without using the SMART structure with real intent. I also did not follow through to check that the goals had been attained by recording them and revisiting them.—Paula George

I have set goals in the past and written them down and applied what I believed were the basic components of the SMART principle, however this course has massively expanded my awareness of the importance of belief and the critical importance of goals being real to us, strategies such as the power of now and also the dream board/vision board. Whilst I have heard you talk about Buckminster Fuller’s concept of Procession, I didn’t really understand it. This course has really helped me to understand the concept and how it applies to goal setting. I found the videos and examples throughout the course to be really powerful. E.g. the lyrics and music provided in the power of now unit! I listened with eyes closed and it is a powerful message. My example goal now reads: On or before 31st July 2024 I am the owner of a 3 bedroom semi/detached house which has subtle changes to how I’ve ever written goals before. This is a fantastic education resource I’ll come back to time and time again.—Rob Bennett, UK

I found the course to be extremely helpful. Some of my answers to the questions helped me uncover things I’d forgotten and some new things I learned – both about goal setting and about myself in terms of my own direction. Whether your new to goal setting or even if your more experienced. I believe the information in this course and your active engagement with it will benefit you enormously, as it did me.—Conor McGee, IRE

This Course has given me the gift of, a system to follow for conceiving, believing and achieving my short medium and long term goals. The concept of writing my goals in present tense is a significant catalyst for me to bring my goals and dreams into manifestation.–Liam Keats, AUS

The KSI Smart goal setting course has given me detailed knowledge of what to include in my goal setting and explained why SMART goal setting helps make the process accurate. The course has given me practical skills and knowledge that has helped me make my future goal setting and manifestation and a powerful process.—Jimmy George, UK

This course has helped me to understand the principles and practice of setting SMART based goals in a new way.  There were several concepts that were new to me, and learning how that theory applies to goal setting was very helpful. By the end of the course, I had set goals that I can manifest and take action towards in a much more detailed, significant and powerful way.—Paula George, UK

Any course by Ian King is absolute gold. As they say, I emptied the cup, threw away the ego and try to apply and implement new knowledge as much as possible.– Il’ya Alyoshin, Kazakhstan

Great course.  I found the part about Goals, purpose and precession, especially interesting and immediately applicable to my business and life.  That is the first time i had ever seen or heard goal setting put in those terms.  It better put in perspective what a goal should be vs just wanting a certain outcome.-Greg Hazard, USA

I enjoyed this course as it was spaced out over 8 units which allowed the content to be appropriate portioned/allocated into each unit for optimal understanding & absorption. It wasn’t as wordy or overwhelming compared to other similar courses that I have been exposed to.

One of the things which I felt could be included for the course in the future, would be getting the course participants to perform activities live for certain units (E.g. Creating a real dream/vision board & submitting a picture of it). This would ensure that the participants are really getting their skin in the game & putting what they have learnt into practice. Nevertheless, love the process of completing this course!—Tze Wei Lim, SNG

When I first came across the idea of goal setting – more than 10 years ago – I immediately started doing what I had learnt and wrote down some exciting SMART goals. In hindsight, it is incredible to see what I have accomplished from that list. Now I have to admit that in the recent years I didn’t take goal setting as seriously as I had done in the past. So the timing of this course couldn’t have been better. To refresh what I already knew (but wasn’t doing) AND the course did what it promised: I learnt some things that I never had heard of before, such as “precession “. I liked the questions after each unit, which made me really reflect on my goals and how to write them down. The course gave me clarity about my goals and the belief that I am able to make them a reality. Now this is something that I usually struggled with in the past. Some of my goals that I set in the past seemed so far out of reach that I didn’t believe in them and therefore didn’t take the required action. For some reason I still can’t explain, thanks to this course my belief is strong now and so is the desire to make things happen in 2024!—David Cerpentier, BEL

The course was awesome. The way each concept was illustrated in the cases of the athlete, the coach and the get buffed trainee made it very practical. I will use the knowledge provided in the course when working on my goals and the goals of my clients.—Matic Bevcar, SLV

This is a very well-structured course that carefully walks the student through a maze that they might not have known even existed. I learnt something in each of the units and sometimes could relate to the concepts being taught which made it a better learning experience. As I create/set the KSI SMART Goals I will be revisiting the units with the aim of setting these goals in conjunction with my wife (hopefully!). The use of a dream board will be an additional challenge that I now look forward to, but would not have contemplated prior to this excellent short course.—M., AUS

This course has brought excitement, direction and a better understanding of goal setting. From understanding where I am in the Welcome page, planning throughout and reflecting at the end – it is a course of great value which has given me the tools to goal set and take action today and into the future -Thank you Ian and KSI–Kelly Batt, AUS
