Do you have the guts to ask just how good or bad you are? I've considered handing out an "anonymous" questionnaire - at end of each season - to my girls (2 teams) asking them to rate my skills as a coach in various categories, such as:
1) Rate (1-10, low to high) how has the coach helped improve your skills: hitting, fielding, base running, etc.
2) Rate coach's ability to motivate you to play at your best.
3) Rate coach's fairness with you and teammates.
4) Rate coach's game decisions and strategy.
5) Rank what you believe are your coach's priorities: winning, improving softball skills, improving life skills.
6) Rate your overall experience on this year's team.
8) List your what you like most about this year's team.
9) List what you like least about this year's team.
10) What are your suggestions for improving the experience of playing on this team.
What are your thoughts on handing out this survey? - assuming that I will objectively attempt to use this information to improve my skills where I get consistent responses. Am I just asking for trouble? Also, what else might you ask or would you leave off of survey?
