each other on and off the pitch? This will act as the contract for future
behaviour. Type this up, print & ask each player to sign an individual sheet
Why – accountability, responsibility, cohesion, increase communication, leadership skills.
Layout: Split the groups in to 4/5 players Ask one player to be nominated the speaker and the other the writer.
Ask each group for 2 points & write these on the flipchart paper. Repeat this process until all are happy with the number of points on the board

the program◦ To monitor any changes over time
Process:◦ Athlete to rate where he/she is right now in relation to each of the
characteristics (colour in your rating)◦ Athlete to rate where he/she ideally would like to get to by the end
of the year in each characteristic (cross out xxx the marks you won’t get to e.g. ideally I would like to get to 8 – cross out 9 & 10)
◦ Pick 4 characteristics with the biggest gaps between actual & ideal & write beside it one way you are going to work on that area.
