Mexican-American War, also called Mexican War, Spanish Guerra de 1847 or Guerra de Estados Unidos a Mexico (“War of the United States Against Mexico”), war between the United States and Mexico (April 1846–February 1848) stemming from the United States’ annexation of Texas in 1845 and from a dispute over whether Texas ended at the Nueces River (Mexican claim) or the Rio Grande (U.S. claim). The war—in which U.S. forces were consistently victorious—resulted in the United States’ acquisition of more than 500,000 square miles (1,300,000 square km) of Mexican territory extending westward from the Rio Grande to the Pacific Ocean.

Maitland and Gervis' study on goal setting and coaches found that, for goals to be effective, coaches should be engaged with the goal-setting process. The study was to use naturalistic inquiry and the social cognitive theories of motivation to identify and describe the motivational choices that players make as they go through the goal-setting process and examine the influence of the coach on this process. It means that goal-setting needs had to be examined in a broader context than goal-setting theory.

In short, coaches should engage in an interactive and ongoing dialogue with players, taking into account the motivational needs of the players and their own to improve the effectiveness of setting goals as a technique, and hence their effectiveness as a coach.
