Beijing Blast Number Five: 10 things to include in your Beijing Review
So Beijing 2008 is over.
Now is the time to start planning to win in London 2012.
Or World Championships 2009.
Or Commonwealth Games 2010.
Or the next World Cup.
All sports in all nations will do some sort of Beijing Performance Review in coming months.
Some will do it well - many will just do it as a “tick the box - we have to do a review” exercise.
How many athletes, coaches and support staff will actually use the review process as an opportunity to improve their performances in future major competitions?
How many will just see the review as a pointless waste of time enforced on them by the Funding Agencies or the Board?
So what are the 10 most important things to include in any Beijing review?
Reviews are critical in assessing three key things:
What did you do that WORKED - WENT WELL?
What did you do that didn’t WORK - WENT BADLY?
What did you learn and you can introduce to improve your performance NEXT TIME?
A good review asks questions - the trick is in knowing what questions to ask, why to ask them and who to ask.
Even more importantly, is knowing what to do with the answers to those questions.
