Discovering Who Your Best TEAM Players Are
Almost all coaches would like to have greater insights into the personalities of their players. Here is a short written test that can teach you a great deal about your individual players and about your team as a whole.
- Have each player write his name down on a piece of paper
- Tell them, “If you are going to war in a dangerous, remote part of the world where you had to rely and trust on your teammates in order to survive, who would you want to share a fox hole with? Write down the names of three teammates.
- Rank each of the 3 in order of importance and/or preference
- 3 points for #1, 2 points for #2, and 1 point for #3
Use this test 3 or 4 times a season and keep a running total of all the points awarded
