Weekly Leadership & Accountability Check-In
This is a simple weekly reflection tool designed to build ownership in athletes and help coaches start better conversations. It’s not about perfection — it’s about honesty, effort, and respect for the standard.
Quick Summary
Athletes complete a short weekly check-in. Coaches use it to spot patterns, reinforce standards, and keep accountability calm and consistent.
What This Is (and Isn’t)
We track performance on the field — we should also track the habits that build trust off the field. This check-in is built to be simple, repeatable, and defensible.
What It Is
A weekly player-owned reflection that builds awareness and ownership.
- Honest self-evaluation
- Clear standards language
- Better coach/player conversations
What It Is Not
It does not replace coaching judgment or serve as a punishment tool.
- Not a public ranking
- Not a playing-time calculator
- Not designed to embarrass athletes
Coach Quick-Start
Three steps to make this work immediately (without extra meetings).
Step 1 — Introduce It
Present it as an expectation: ownership, not punishment.
- “This is for you.”
- “Honesty matters.”
- “Patterns help us improve.”
Step 2 — Run It Weekly
Same day, same time. Consistency builds habit.
- Choose one weekly deadline
- Make it short and repeatable
- Review calmly, not emotionally
Step 3 — Use It for Conversations
Use responses to guide 1–2 minute conversations, not arguments.
- Ask one follow-up question
- Reinforce one standard
- Set one commitment for next week
Optional — Parent Clarity
Tell parents what it is (development tool) and what it isn’t (punishment).
- Privacy respected
- Growth over perfection
- Standards stay consistent
The Standard
This check-in is built around the same foundation we teach every week:
Performance skills may get you to the top — moral skills keep you there.
The Standard does not change. We teach it, we reinforce it, and we live it.
