Individual Development Plans

16–18 år

Athletes create their own development plan together with the coach. The athlete owns their development and the coach supports!

How it works:

  • 1-on-1 conversations between athlete and coach. These take place over time throughout the season as needed
  • The athlete identifies: realistic goals (short-term and long-term), strengths and areas for development, desired feeling in competition/match, any preparations and need for support
  • Together, they create a plan based on: specific training elements, tactical goals, life situation, and a long-term perspective
  • Follow-up as needed or requested by the athlete: “How is it going?” “Is there anything we should adjust?”
  • Feel free to use the template from the support material

Why democratic leadership:

• Stay longer in sports
• Thrive and feel better
• Develop their performance
• Dare to speak up if something is wrong!
• Start where you are and build step by step.
• Every small change makes a difference!
