Motivating younger players

Here's an example of how we crated player profile cards to include areas of strengths, opportunities to develop and the orange ones being the areas the player identified they'd like to work on.  We can use these to reflect and also update throughput the season!

  • Hi Chris
    This is excellent and great way to highlight the reasons why your players play. I also like how you have highlighted the players 'super strengths' and how this allows you (and the players) to recognise their areas of development and areas they can improve. 
    When might you revisit this to 're-assess' these or identify progress they have made?

    Just a side note; be careful when uploading images of players (children), I assume this might be your own child but if not you need consent from parent/guardian in order to use these from a safeguarding perspective. 

    Many Thanks
    Gary

  • Thanks for the comments Gary.  We agreed to do them mid season so it allowed the players time to develop and also ensure that the main points are 5 stars and then select the next sets.  They're uniquee attributes for each player so they are tailored and also with thought behind from the coach.  Understand entirely on the safeguarding, these were only given as hard copies to the individuals parents and not shared online anywhere.
