New Year's resolution, essentially (4)

I believe the answer is:

goal

(Other definitions for goal that I've seen before include "Footballer's target" , "Something to be achieved" , "Object of one's ambition" , "Aim (at football)" , "... destination (at football?)" .)

I've seen this clue in the USA Today.
