Name the right problem

“We need to be better” is where the conversation starts.

Do you mean the training is not carrying into games? Players are not staying available? Staff are giving mixed messages? Or everyday problems are reaching the rink?

Until the club names the right problem, another test or meeting simply adds noise.

The parts to look at

Training direction
Player health
Return-to-play
Staff communication
The final call

How to use the result

Start with the lowest score.

Ask why people around the club scored it differently.

If several areas are low, the answer is probably not one new exercise or test. Look at how preparation, medical judgement, coaching demands and daily life around the player affect one another.
