One of the biggest mistakes we make is assuming players know how to improve.
Most don’t.
Telling a player to “work on your passing” isn’t development.
Helping them create a clear SMART goal, define daily actions, review progress and reflect on outcomes is.
Good goal setting develops three things every coach should want:
✅ Accountability – Players own their development instead of relying on reminders.
✅ Self-regulation – Players learn to plan, monitor and evaluate their own progress.
✅ Confidence – Every completed action and measurable improvement becomes evidence that they are getting better.
That’s exactly why we built the Goal Setting Guide into the CoachCraft Player Portal. Because great coaching isn’t creating dependent players.
It’s developing players who know how to improve themselves.
