How Tactically aware are your players?

As coaches we all want our players to be proficient in all areas of the game: Technical,Tactical, Physical and Mental but do we ever spend time understanding where our players understanding is at?
Below is a questionaire a super 14 development team used to get an understanding of where their player base was at in terms of tactical knowledge:

Tactical Questionnaire

1. What is your preferred position and why?


2. What are the key functions of your role?




3. How do you perform these roles in a game and at training?




4. What are you good at?




5. What do you need to work on?




Outcomes

1. Player to fill in the above questionnaire



2. To discuss the above player information



3. To develop an individual tactical development plan together.

Colin Cooper Quote

Here's a Boomer from 2010 Hurricanes Super 14 Coach Colin Cooper:


"It's all about the team and it's all about discipline, picking the right players and weighing up ability versus character. It's also about playing the right game plan and surrounding yourself with good people who can drive that."
