Performance Pressure Is Not the Same as Work Pressure

Selection, injury, contract insecurity, a career that may end in your twenties, and an identity fused to the thing being judged. The sport edition asks about those directly, rather than translating workplace questions and hoping athletes recognise themselves in them.

Why a separate edition

The Generic Instrument Asks the Wrong Questions Politely

Asking an athlete about "role clarity" or "workload" returns answers that are technically valid and practically useless. Asking about selection anxiety and life after sport returns something a performance director can act on. It is the same underlying model, so the results still benchmark and still sit in the same reporting.

Organisations that have run the evaluation (sometimes called an athlete wellbeing survey) include Baseball Victoria, Essendon and the Office of Sport.

Confidentiality

In a Small Squad, Anonymity Is Not Automatic

Cohort reporting is suppressed below a minimum number of responses. In sport that floor does more work than anywhere else on the platform, because a squad of eighteen is exactly the size at which a careless dashboard identifies someone.

Questions

Questions People Ask

Who is the sport edition for?

Athletes, coaches and staff at elite and community sporting organisations.

Is it confidential in a small squad?

Cohort reporting is suppressed below a minimum number of responses, which matters most in a squad-sized group.

Can we check in across a season?

Yes. Run it at points through the season. Trends Foundry compares collection rounds and lets you mark events such as a coaching change.

Can athletes answer away from a computer?

Yes. It runs on a phone as a conversation, a card deck or a classic form, and Offline Kiosk Mode works on a tablet at a venue without a connection.
