Question

Giving out medals...!

Which of the following statements is a MAD goal?

I want to play professional football for my favorite team after I finish college.

I want to reach a skeet shooting score of 85 percent at the next competition.

I want to beat the county record for the 100-meter hurdles this year.

I want to catch 65 fish while camping with my friends next week.

Answer 1

I think it would be the statement that is not achievable

Answer 2

Take a look at this which provides examples. http://strengthrunning.com/2014/05/run-your-fastest-race-ever-with-this-one-weird-old-trick/

Answer 3

i think its the first but that really depends on if you play for you college team

Answer 4

I would go with the last one because that sounds to me like it might be difficult to make that goal

Answer 5

65 fish is a lot... average catch might be 5-10 if you are in a good fishing area

Answer 6

it dosnt state how long the trip is for camping though so it could just be about 9 fish everyday or 60 in one day and if you spend alot of time fishing it could be achivable, your odds would be better than being a professional football player

Answer 7

there is not a lot of given information... playing for a pro football team is usually a dream

Answer 8

yeah so i would say its the first one because its a very hard thing to do

Answer 9

Thanks alot

I will improve my batting average by two points before the end of the season.

If we go by common sense, I think it is unlikely that you will do choice C
