self-assessment feedback for players on the trict programme

Please work out your scores based on how you are honestly feeling about this match. It's important to do your post-match assessment whilst the match is still fresh in your mind, and to submit your scores and feedback within 48hrs of the match day. Thanks!

Hopefully you had a positive and happy experience with your last match, but if this isn't the case, then read carefully through the following:

THERE ARE NO FEELINGS THAT YOU CAN EXPERIENCE BEFORE, DURING, OR AFTER A TENNIS MATCH, THAT ARE NOT PERFECTLY NORMAL, AND THAT HAVEN'T BEEN EXPERIENCED BY THOUSANDS OF OTHER TENNIS PLAYERS AT ALL AGES AND LEVELS. EVERY PRO PLAYER WILL HAVE SCORED ZERO'S AT SOME POINT IN THEIR CAREER. WE CAN WORK TO FIX THIS NO MATTER WHAT IS CAUSING IT. WE CAN ALSO WORK TO OVERCOME NEGATIVE FEELINGS, WHEN YOU CAN EXPRESS THEM HONESTLY AND AS CLEARLY AS YOU CAN. 

Also understand that any score is possible with any result. You could have high scores after losing a match, as well as low scores after winning a match. 

Come up with a score for the first half of the match, AND a score for the second half of match for these 5 things. If it was the same score for the whole match, then just send one score. You can also write some words after your score if you feel it would be useful to explain your score better.

Examples: Concentration 3-5 means your level was ok in the first set, but as the match went on it became really really good. Confidence 4 means you felt confident with your game for the whole match. Playing level 3-4 means you started the match playing well, and then got better as the match went on and played very well.

Please write down the score, venue, age group, grade, and round.

For example: Won 4-2 4-3 (7-4), Sutton, U14, G3, Consolation Final

For subsequent rounds at the same tournament, just write the score.

You can include interesting facts like: 

Did one player have match points and not win? 

How you were feeling about the match in the morning or the day before? 

Did someone lose a big lead? 

Was there an injury to either player? 

Were conditions particularly unusual? 

Anything else that you feel is worth writing down, that will give a better understanding of how the match went and/or how you felt about it?

If there were no interesting facts, you can leave this section blank.
