5. Annual Evaluations, Reviews and Post Tournament Reports(Prepared by the CTF High Performance Committee)

Often when people think of performance reviews, it is considered in the negative and their mind immediatelyjumps to whether or not they are doing a good enough job. CTF realizes that performance reviews are an opportunity to review and reward what is going well, as well as what can be improved on. The great coaches are able to congratulate themselves as well as look for what they can still develop further.

Reviewing a coach’s performance, and our athletes (and all staff) over the course of the season is critical for the following reasons:

1. As research shows, the coaches’ role is critical to the success of the athletes and the team, both for CTF and for the athletes as individual people.

2. To ensure the success and achievement of the coach, both in the venue and outside the venue is recognized and rewarded (so often it seems to be “When the team does well, it is the great athletes. When the team doesn’t do well, it is the coach’s fault.”).

3. A performance review serves to help the coach understand where they have met the required performance parameters set by CTF /High Performance Committee. It avoids ambiguity, misunderstanding, and “unsubstantiated opinions” and provides clarity and openness within a strong performance culture.

4. Reviews identify how a coach can further improve their skills and abilities.

5. Conducting reviews also improves CTF’s overall performance and assists in planning future needs (such as succession planning). When conducted on a seasonal orannual basis, reviews enable our HP Program to monitor codes of conduct, standards of agreedperformance, expectations, objectives and the effective delegation of responsibilities and tasks.

6. Performance reviews enable CTF to understand their unique training and development needs for their coaches (and all staff). This ensures not only the athletes who are being coached are focused on constant improvement. It is a well-known fact that an athlete’s improvement is linked to the quest for knowledge and growth in their coaches.

7. Conducting performance reviews has importance for coaches (and all staff) in terms of how the process can aid in their motivation, attitude and behavior development. Within our organization, communicating and aligning individual staff goals with the overall goals of our Federation will aid us in fostering positive relationships between all staff and enhances the sense of contribution and meaning each individual derives from their roles.

5.5a Instructions for the Reviewer and the CoachF o r t h e R ev i e w e r

The first step in preparing this review is to compare the Results, Goals and Processes, whether goals were achieved, not achieved, or only partially achieved. It is important to review the end results in light of the factors that contributed to the coach’s ability to achieve the goals.

The second step is to look at the reasons why a particular goal was or was not achieved. The reviewer/review committee need(s) to identify factors within the coach’s control (for example, design of training programs and competition preparation) and those that were not (for example, an athlete’s choice to not follow a training program, increased/decreased travel funding, changes in competition schedules, injuries to athletes, and changes in priorities by the CTF board.

While discussing the degree of success for each goal, the reviewer first discusses the factors within the coach's control. In order to do this, the reviewer will make use of the feedback collected from the athletes, coaching support staff, the managers’ on-site observations of the coach's performance, and the reviewer's own experience and expertise. This will lead to a clear understanding of the strengths that the coach bring to their performance and clarify areas that need improvement or skills that need adjustment.

F o r t h e C oa c h

The coach can prepare for this part of the review in the same manner as the reviewer. The coach will be relying on critical reflection of their experiences throughout the year.

The rating Section "Assessment of Competencies" needs to be completed prior to review meeting by both the reviewer and the coach. The ratings and supporting examples will be based on:

1) Feedback from Athletes2) Feedback from others (Assistant coaches, managers, support staff)3) The reviewers’ on-site observations

***For the Coach while completing "Assessment of Competencies" add specific examples from situations throughout the season that support your ratings. ***
