Map Who Receives Your Attention
Coaches can unintentionally spend most of their attention on confident athletes or visible mistakes. A simple tally can reveal whose learning you are missing. Use the information to broaden contact, not to manufacture identical praise for everyone.
When to use it
Use as a brief self-check across two or three sessions.
Put It into Practice
- List first names on a private coaching sheet. Ask an assistant to mark meaningful instructional or supportive interactions during one practice block.
- Review who received attention and what kind it was. Notice whether some athletes heard only corrections while others received conversation and encouragement.
- Plan genuine contact with overlooked athletes next session. Ask about their learning target, observe an attempt and follow up on something they told you.
What It Can Look Like
The tally shows three quieter players received no feedback during shooting. The next block includes an individual question and observed attempt for each.
