Which term would you use to describe a coaching tool that helps identify strengths and weaknesses by mapping performance factors?

• A. Performance profile
• B. Performance goal
• C. Physical literacy
• D. Point of insertion

Answer: (A)

A performance profile is the coaching tool designed to map a range of performance factors and show where you’re strongest and where improvement is needed. By assessing elements such as technique, decision-making, physical attributes, consistency, and tactics, and then charting them—often in a grid or radar view—you get a clear picture of gaps and strengths. This makes it easier to set targeted goals and plan focused training, using feedback from both you and the coach to track progress over time.

A performance goal is about setting a specific objective to reach, not about mapping different performance aspects. Physical literacy refers to overall movement competence, confidence, and knowledge for lifelong activity, not a tool for assessing specific performance factors. Point of insertion is an anatomical term and doesn’t relate to coaching or performance mapping.
