How it works
Develop self-directed coachability by having players assess their own technical execution and set improvement targets.
What you need
- field hockey sticks
- field hockey ball
- cones
- notebook or whiteboard
Your focus
Elite-level coachability includes the ability to self-coach. Athletes who can identify their own errors and correct them are less dependent on external feedback. Self-assessment also creates buy-in to the improvement process.
Players complete a moving with the ball and passing circuit 3 times.
After each run, they write down one thing they did well and one thing to improve.
In round 2 and 3, they specifically focus on the improvement point they identified.
Debrief with partner: did the self-correction work? What did you change?
Helpful cues
- Be honest with yourself, coaches can see what you can see
- Name it specifically: not 'my passing' but 'my follow-through'
- Improvement is proof of coachability
