Your responses are confidential and will shape how we approach our next season of work together. Be honest, be generous with yourself, and don't rush.

Section 01
Looking Back: Growth & Progress
How have you grown as an athlete over the past year?
Think broadly — performance metrics, emotional regulation, consistency, mindset, relationships with teammates or coaches. What's genuinely different?
What's the single biggest win you'd point to from this past year?
It doesn't have to be a result. It could be a moment, a shift in mindset, a decision you made under pressure. What are you most proud of?
Overall, how would you rate your growth and progress over the past year?
Minimal
Significant
Section 02
Goal Review

Reflect on the goals you set at the start of our work this year — both your process goals (how you show up) and your outcome goals (results).

What were your main process goals this year?
How you trained, how you prepared mentally, habits you wanted to build.
How well did you follow through on them?
Struggled
Nailed it
Outcome Goals
What were your main outcome goals this year?
Results, performances, rankings, times, milestones.
How well did you achieve them?
Fell short
Exceeded
What got in the way of your goals this year?
Be honest — injuries, life circumstances, mental blocks, inconsistency. Understanding the obstacles is as important as celebrating the wins.

Section 04
Challenges & How You Responded
What were the hardest challenges or setbacks you faced this year?
Injuries, performance slumps, competitive losses, personal circumstances — whatever was genuinely difficult.
How did you respond to those challenges? What worked — and what didn't?
Think about the strategies you used, the moments you recovered well, and the moments you wish you'd handled differently.
How would you rate your resilience and ability to bounce back this year compared to previous years?
Regressed
Much stronger
Section 05
Motivation Check
Has your primary motivation for competing changed over the past year?
Yes — significantlyMy "why" has meaningfully shifted.
Somewhat — it's evolvedThe core is the same but my perspective has deepened.
Not really — it's stayed the sameMy motivation is consistent with where I started.
Describe how your motivation feels right now — and what's driving it.
Are you more intrinsically motivated? Less driven by external validation? More or less connected to the love of the sport? Be honest about where you are.
Section 06
Strengths Recognition
What are you genuinely good at now that you weren't a year ago?
This is not the time for false modesty. Name your real growth — mental, physical, technical, or relational. What can you do now that you couldn't before?
What strengths do you already have that you want to lean into more next year?
Often our existing strengths are underutilized. What are you already good at that could be an even bigger asset?
Section 07

The Coaching Relationship
What aspects of our work together have been most valuable to you this year?
Specific tools, sessions, conversations, frameworks — what's actually made a difference?
What would you like more of, less of, or done differently in our work going forward?
