Carl's father signed him up to play in the community soccer league, but Carl really wants to play football. Which type of goal-setting challenge is Carl facing?

a. Distractions

b. Lack of control

c. Fear of failure

d. Uncertainty

I believe the answer is: B. Lack of control

Lack of control refers to a problem that faced by individuals which outcome is determined by factors that are not within our scope of personal control.

This type of challenge could be caused by things such as permission from authority, unavailability of resources, natural disasters, etc.

The type of goal setting challenge which Carl is facing is the lack of control since Carl's father signed him up to play in the community soccer league, but Carl really wants to play football. Lack of control extends even more deeply than what you mention. No one in history has ever successfully obeyed the command, "be spontaneous."
