questions with regards to your business see where you're at see where you want to get to and I can show you some actionable steps to take this week to grow and scale your training business so today I want to share with you a question I get asked on a regular basis when coaches are looking to set up player evaluations for their clients so what a player evaluation is it's essentially when a prospect contacts you either through your website or they call you directly and they're interested in their child joining your program now what we do at our company is we teach coaches how to set up a proper systems where they are getting on sales calls with with parents and they're inviting the client or the prospect to an evaluation evaluation session now once that evaluation session is then complete then what we do is we teach coaches how to close that client into the program if they are a right fit for the program so something coaches ask me quite often actually they ask me what should I focus on when I provide feedback to the client or upon the the evaluation session right so what are a couple of areas that I should be looking at when it comes to doing the the evaluation and then once the evaluation is complete what things should I focus on when I talk to the prospect or the future client about their child and how they did at the evaluation session so what I'm going to do is I'm going to break down four things that I do with my business that has worked and also four things that when I work with coaches predominantly in soccer right but this can work in any sport these are four areas that coaches should focus on right so number one is the technical side of the game so when when a prospect or a potential client comes to your evaluation session whether it be for one-on-one training whether it be for small groups okay what we want to do is we want to focus on the technical side of how they did during that session so how was their first touch how was their dribbling how was their shooting okay and we want to try and find areas of improvement within the technical side that then we can provide feedback to the parent now it doesn't necessarily have to only be areas of improvement it can also be areas that they have shown um strengths in so technically if they had a really good touch then that's something we can provide feedback on okay if they're heading is really good and we can provide feedback if they're striking if they're finishing okay if they want 1v1 play is really good then we can provide that but what we want to do is we want to focus on the technical side so we can provide technical feedback back to the um the potential future client so second one is physical right how in terms of the physicality of of the player of the future client that we are inviting to an evaluation session how are they doing physically so when i talk about physically is how is their conditioning like do they get tired easily um are they strong in in one on ones and what about in 50 50 situations against other players okay how did they do physically against other players or just in general how did they do during the session did they tire do you feel that they're out of shape do they need more conditioning do they need more strength work okay so how are they physically to you and that's an area we can then provide feedback on right so we've got the technical side of the game right how they how they did technically during the session then we can look at the physical side how they did physically right against other players if so if it's a small group evaluation session and you've got other kids in that group who are physically bigger how did they compete against those kids so these are areas that you can focus on and provide feedback back to the parent on their child right now social when i talk about social this would be anything to do with how they communicated with other players or how they communicated with the coach so if it's a one-on-one situation right the social side would be how did they feel around you did they ask questions did they pay attention right did they follow instructions okay did they did they participate in everything you were doing right did they give a hundred percent right so that's pretty much like the social aspect of the evaluation session right how did they communicate with you if it's a small group training session how did they fit in with the rest of the group did they get on with everyone else did they talk to their other teammates right how did they feel being around the the other players okay so focusing on the on the social side is pretty much looking at a player from the perspective of how are they doing in terms of communication with either yourself if it's a one-on-one situation or in a group with other players who are already part of your your training program okay now the fourth one is psychological so this is pretty much the mental side of the game so how did they cope with the mental side so again this could be how did they pay attention to your instructions how did they react when they struggled with one part of the activity okay also if they struggled on one part of the activity how did they recover from it right did they just give up very easily did they keep going okay were they determined during the session did they look to improve okay so essentially this is the areas where you want to focus on the the mental side and you can provide feedback to the parent how they did right so how how was their effort level how was their reactions okay did they find solutions to the problems by themselves or did they depend on you solely as as the coach to figure the problems out for them okay so these are four very simple feedback areas that you can focus on when you do your play evaluation sessions okay I get asked on a regular basis on this okay what what things to focus on how should I provide feedback back to my potential client so these are a couple of things and areas that you can focus on that will really help you and it also provides you with a better professional service so when you get back on the call with mrs jones who's already brought their child to an evaluation session then you can focus on all four of these areas or you can focus on maybe two so you might provide feedback on the technical side of the game and the social or you might decide to go right i'm only going to do the physical and the psychological okay so hopefully this helps if it does right and if you need more help with this then as I mentioned at the start of
