Choose a Useful Question After a Tough Session

Move from a sweeping verdict to a question you can investigate.

When to use it

Use when your first reaction is “nothing worked today.”

Put It into Practice

  1. Give yourself time to settle before reviewing. You do not have to produce a lesson immediately after disappointment.
  2. Choose one question: what confused me, when did I feel prepared, or what instruction do I need clarified? Avoid interrogating every mistake.
  3. Take that question to your notebook or coach. End the review with a small next step and return to the rest of your day.

What It Can Look Like

A player replaces “I cannot do defence” with a question about when their team wants them to help.

Take it with you: A useful question opens learning; a global verdict usually closes it.
