PACT - Parent and Player Coach Evaluations

In the PACT training booklets that were passed out to us in mid March, there were Coach Evaluation forms that both players and parents could fill out.  I made copies of these and passed them out last week with instructions to the girls and their parents to fill them out and submit back to me on Sunday (March20).  I wanted to get some feedback about players' and parents' perceptions about me and what I was doing with the group.

PACT - Athlete Coach Survey

PACT - Parent Coach Survey

I got 16 Athlete Coach Evaluations and 15 Parent Coach Evaluations turned back in.  I went through and averaged the scores that players and their parents recorded to get the following results. 

Athletes

Care Scale 41.25 / 45

Choice Scale 18.8 / 25

Competence Scale 24.5 / 25

Enjoyment Scale 24.04 / 25

Parents

Care Scale 40.61 / 45

Choice Scale 18.73 / 25

Competence Scale 23.69 / 25

Enjoyment Scale 23.53 / 25

I take these ratings for what they are worth.  Simply an indication of how I am viewed by the people I'm working with.  I think that most of the players and parents believe that I care for these girls (which I do), that I am competent at what I do (which I am), and that the girls enjoy their time playing on this team.  I would have guessed that the Choice Scale would be lowest as though I do not run a dictatorship here, the parents do look to me to make many of the soccer decisions. 

The one item that really caught my eye in the 30+ sheets was a parent who marked a "3" or had neutral feelings on question #19 - I feel my child's coach is a good coach.  That kinda hurt.
