Use of Journals
Objective: Develop self-awareness, ownership, and accountability in players.
Coach Delivery Method:
1. Introduce Journals as a Tool
Explain it’s not homework — it’s a performance mirror.
Stress that honest entries matter more than perfect writing.
2. What to Record
Wins and losses (include opponent’s level if known).
Number of darts thrown per leg/set.
Practice drills completed and success rates.
Thoughts and feelings before, during, and after play.
3. Coach Review
Read journal highlights in debriefs — don’t just glance.
Look for recurring patterns in confidence, errors, or fatigue.
4. Extra Tip
If players struggle with writing, allow voice notes or short video logs.
