Goals at the centre of gravity.
Training plans without goals are just tasks. Assessments without goals are just administration. Summit puts a single, sharp SMART goal at the heart of every player's account.
One active goal at a time.
Players don't have eight overlapping goals on Summit. They have one active goal. That's a deliberate design decision: a single goal is a focus. Eight goals are a to-do list, and to-do lists slip. When the active goal is achieved, archived as a milestone marker, the coach sets the next one.
Goals are SMART: specific, measurable, achievable, relevant and time-bound. Summit checks each component as you fill the goal in — there's a named skill area or target, a measurable threshold, a hard deadline, and an optional link to an assessment category so the radar chart becomes the scoreboard.
The full goal lifecycle, surfaced explicitly.
Most platforms only show active goals. Summit shows the whole story: active, achieved, overdue, extended, abandoned. Every state is a deliberate transition, not a silent disappearance.
- Active — the live goal. Surfaced as the primary element on the player's dashboard. Linked training exercises highlighted across the calendar.
- Achieved — target met before the deadline. Archived automatically as a milestone marker. Permanent in the player's history.
- Overdue — deadline passed, target not reached. Summit flags it and asks the coach what to do — never silently removes it.
- Extended — overdue goal given a new deadline. Original target and deadline preserved in history. Same goal, not a new one.
- Abandoned — deliberately closed by coach or player with a recorded reason. Honest record of what was attempted.
That lifecycle matters. A player who has finished 14 goals across three years has a story. A player who has extended a goal three times has a different story. A player who has abandoned every goal they've set has a third. Summit makes that visible — to the coach, to the player, and to anyone the player chooses to share with.
AI goal suggestions tied to the radar.
When it's time to set the next goal, Summit suggests candidates grounded in the player's most recent assessment and their annual plan. The category they scored lowest on six months ago and still scored low on yesterday is a candidate. The target the AI proposes is set against the framework's rating descriptions, so it's a real target, not an aspirational shrug.
The coach picks, edits, refuses, or writes a different one entirely. Summit's suggestions never lock in until the coach commits them.
Annual-plan integration — goals on the calendar.
Every goal has a deadline. Every deadline lands on the player's annual plan and on the player's calendar. The training blocks that lead up to that deadline are visible in the same screen. The competitions in the run-in are visible too. The whole picture is one thread: assess → set the goal → plan around it → train toward it → arrive ready.
