How to Conduct Post-Season Coach Evaluations

May 09, 2023

Begin the process by having the coach conduct a self-evaluation. Then, before the discussion of performance begins, set a positive tone for the remainder of the evaluation to ease any tensions. Ask the coach to answer the following questions:

  • How did you re-define winner?

  • How did you honor the game this season?

  • How did you fill the emotional tanks of your athletes?

These questions get coaches to think about their performance in terms of positively influencing athletes, and helps them de-focus on the outcome on the scoreboard from their season. This should both alleviate stress on their end, and help you evaluate their performance.
