Which of the following statements is a mad goal? i will beat the county wrestling champion in my weight division in my first match. i will dance for 300 hours this month to prepare for the end-of-the-year recital. i will swim the length of the pool five times without taking a breath. i will improve my batting average by two points before the end of the season.

The correct answer is I will improve my batting average by two points before the end of the season. That's because mad goals are measurable, attainable, deadline goals, that means that they are planned and realistic. Beating a champion in your first match and swimming the pool 5 times without taking breath is definitely not measurable. However, improving your batting rate is measurable and attainable within the given deadline.
