the coaching effect assessment
The Coaching Effect Assessment is a powerful, anonymous survey tool designed to quantify the qualitative aspects of coaching relationships. In just a few minutes, it captures student-athletes' perspectives across six key behavioral themes:
CONNECTION | PSYCHOLOGICAL SAFETY | STRUCTURE |
COMMUNICATION | CHALLENGE | SKILL DEVELOPMENT
This innovative assessment goes beyond traditional performance metrics to measure the human elements of coaching. It reveals how coaching relationships influence critical outcomes such as academic performance (like attendance, disciplinary measures, and grades), athletic achievement, and community impact. By transforming subjective coaching experiences into objective, actionable data, the Coaching Effect Assessment empowers athletic programs to:
Develop data-driven and specific professional development plans for coaches.
Advocate for the impact your coaches are having on athletes, regardless of athletic outcomes and win/loss record.
Enhance coach-athlete interactions for better outcomes.
