|
|
| What
benefits does the assessment offer to the
players?
The players are confronted with the judgement
of their peers, which provides feedback
to self-evaluation. By providing their opinion,
they can also contribute to the development
of the team.

|
|
|
|
|
|
| What
benefits does the assessment offer to a coach
who already knows his team
well?
The assessment complements and classifies
previously available information. It might
also be the only way to reveal concealed
self-evaluation problems among the players
and other pieces of information that are
deliberately concealed from the coach (e.
g.: anxieties, lack of motivation, etc).
The assessment helps the coach to make his
decisions as if he had consulted each player
confidentially on the relevant matters.

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| What
does the assessment offer to a coach newly
assigned to the team?

Question 3), it reduces the time needed
for the new coach to familiarise himself
with the players.

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| When
can the assessment provide benefits?

when the Club intends to improve its ranking.

(at least) 3 championship matches.

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| How
much does the assessment improve the performance
of the team?
The assessment is a diagnostic method
that does not provide solutions directly.

and team-building strategies can greatly
improve the performance of the team.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|

the assessment help in spotting talent?

obvious from the readout of the assessment.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| Does
the survey evaluate the work of the coach?

players and the team.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|

the survey unambiguous?

for each question. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| Is
it possible to include new aspects and characteristics
into the survey that are not on the default
list?

one requested by the club.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
What
are the consequences if some players provide
cursory answers to the questions
of the survey?
The large amount of data (about 12.000
entries) ensures that such inaccuracies
do not influence the results significantly.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| How
objective is the assessment and how strongly
are the results influenced by the persons
conducting the survey?
The role of the persons conducting the
survey is confined to the processing of
data.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Is the final evaluation biased by the fact
that different categories of evaluated characteristics
are represented by different numbers of questions
in the survey?
No. The evaluation software has been designed
to take this factor into account and control
for the disproportionate representation
of categories.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| Can
players not present at the survey be evaluated?
Peer-evaluation of players not participating
in the survey can be conducted normally.
Self-evaluation of such players can be conducted
and added at any time later.
later be done.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| When
to repeat the assessment?
After signing on new players, the new assessment
is recommended after at least three championship
matches. Otherwise it is recommended on
a yearly basis to follow the development
of the team.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| In
what form do the Club and players receive
the results of the assessment?
The Club receives the output of the assessment
as detailed under 'Evaluation' (appr. 50-60
pages) in the form of coloured laminated
sheets organized into files, together with
a guide for the interpretation of results.
An extra copy of each Individual Evaluation
Form is provided to be handed over to the
players. The results are provided also in
digital format.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
What is meant by confidentiality?
Even the club does not gain access to
the original answers in the completed surveys
of the players (except for the sociometric
data). Only the average scores and rankings
are included in the assessment that is provided
to the club. This feature of the method
is important to ensure honest answers from
the players.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
How is data security ensured?
The assessment follows strict privacy
policies (see Data Security).
(Special security options can also be added.
In exceptional cases, the evaluation of
the assessment can be carried out on location
at the Club.)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| Why
is it called a "360-degrees" method?
The assessed person is examined from "all
angles" by processing information from surveying
persons that are in close contact with the
studied individual and know him/her well.
