Close. I want to modify this slightly...

A strong FRC team should have clear ACHIEVABLE goals.
Having goals is great, but if they are unrealistic then they become demoralizing and lose their meaning. i.e. Don't set a goal as Win the Championship/Championship Chairman's if you've never won at a regional level.
There are realistically only about 6-10 teams that could set that a an annual goal

A strong FRC team should have STRETCHgoals.
This is wear you have that thing you aren't sure you'll have time/ability to pull off but you put it out there as a carrot. i.e. Have a great shooter and 30 point climber this year. Most teams could only reasonably pull off one of the two.
