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.
