Performance Profile

07/05/2026

Performance Profile is a self-assessment tool that can support your self-awareness and goal setting. Performance Profile can visualize your current status and clarify your strengths and areas for improvement. The profile is very unique to you.

  • Imagine the athletes/performers you admire or the ideal version of yourself.

  • Identify the qualities or characteristics the athletes/performers or ideal version of yourself possess.

    • Technical, physical, psychological, social, and tactical attributes

    • What do you believe is essential for your performance?

  • Write down the identified qualities or characteristics on the corners of the chart.

  • Rate your current status of each quality or characteristic on a scale from 0 (no ability) to 5 (highest possible ability.)

  • Look at your profile and make any adjustments if needed.

  • Keep track of your progress by updating the profile.
