1. Understand the starting point
The process begins with a conversation, an initial questionnaire and, where appropriate, an assessment. The assessment reviews nearly all key technical abilities and allows the coach to observe performance when the athlete is required to perform under stress.
2. Objectives and plan
Needs become specific technical, competitive and mental-performance objectives. These are translated into a structured cycle of fifteen training sessions with selected exercises, defined attempts and measurable success criteria.
3. Three sources of real evidence
Development is reviewed through individual practice, practice matches and real competitive records. Each source has a different role and weight depending on the stage of the cycle.
- Individual practice and execution records.
- Preparation or practice matches.
- Real competition and tournament play.
4. Analysis and recalculation
The coach interprets results, video and competitive performance. Like a GPS, the plan is recalculated when circumstances change or the evidence points to a better route.
What the system does not do
It does not make psychological diagnoses, promise a specific outcome or change the athlete’s programme automatically without a coaching decision.
