Player Skills Profile Summer 2011 PRE-SEASON CAMP

Player Skills Profile A player skills profile lets us think about which skills, thoughts and ideas about the game we should work on. We want to show our strengths and some skills to work on.

Player Skills Profile Lets write down five of these skills. Try and have at least one technical, tactical or game thought skills (coach can help explain) for a player in your favorite position

Player Skills Profile Go back to the last page and give yourself a number (out of 10) for each one. In the future we will work out a plan to work on some of these.

Affirmations – Your Strengths Select three performance attributes that are your strengths? Put your strengths into a sentence. For example, “I am a quick, agile winger who loves to cross the ball” Share with your helper. Is that who you are, is there more? You can place this sentence on a card and hold yourself accountable to this. Reflect before a game, during a game (half-time) and after the game. Change and adapt this as your weaknesses become strengths.
