What: You ask your players to choose a goal for the drill, after reflecting on their performance.
Why: This tool helps your players to set goals based on their own performance.
Motivational line: “With this tool an unsuccessful attempt is no longer a cause for frustration, but becomes a way to analyze their mistakes”.
Materials needed
No materials are needed.
Preparation
Prepare a drill (i) that the players already know well, not too complicated.
Think of three goals in this drill for the players.
(i) example exercise:
This can basically be any exercise that focuses on a technical skill, and that the players have done several times before.
Let’s do it!
Explain the drill to the players.
Start the drill.
After a few minutes, pause the drill.
Ask the group these reflection questions: What went well for you? What was difficult for you? (quick verbal sharing).
Provide the players with the three goals you prepared before.
Let them decide which option they choose based on their reflection earlier. They can show their choice with their fingers (goal 1: one finger, goal 2: two fingers, goal 3: three fingers).
Continue with the drill and encourage them to focus on the goal they choose.
