Developed in partnership with the Aspen Institute and Dr. Ryan Balch of Resonant Education, a national expert on survey development and senior lecturer at Vanderbilt University, the From the Huddle survey helps youth sports organizations assess and improve how their coaches develop athletes' social, emotional, and cognitive skills. Learn more about how the survey was developed.
It comes in two versions: a 360-Degree Survey for in-depth analysis of specific key social and emotional skills and a Free Coach Self-Assessment for an overview of coaching practices. Both versions are rooted in research-based strategies to help coaches nurture essential life skills in young athletes.
-
The coach self-assessment asks coaches how often and how consistently they perform certain actions as part of their coaching practice. The survey is aligned to Project Play’s Calls for Coaches initiative, which are a set of strategies and best practices that coaches can use to name, model, and create environments for youth athletes to develop and practice social and emotional skill-building. The survey items measure the frequency and consistency of these positive coach behaviors associated with developing these skills.
By measuring their own practice, coaches can identify their strengths, as well as where they can focus their next training.
-
The From the Huddle 360-Degree Survey is a more thorough version of the survey used when youth sports organizations want to implement targeted strategy improvement related to one or more of the Calls for Coaches. This version of the survey is helpful to use when there is a known issue (either identified using the coach self assessment or other methods). Results from the 360-Degree Survey can identify the source and scope of the issue and provide critical information needed to address it.
Student Athletes - 43 items
Parents - 18 items
Coaches - 53 items
What are the 360-Degree Surveys?
360-degree surveys are designed to collect feedback from a group of related participants in order to draw conclusions on the same subject.
From the Huddle utilizes the 360-degree feedback approach to include ATHLETE and GUARDIAN insight on how coaches are incorporating social and emotional skill-building into their coaching practice, in addition to coach self-reflection through the coach self-assessment.
