Coaching Tool: Athlete Profile

A printable athlete profile and coaching resource designed to help coaches and athletes sit down, communicate, and better understand how to work together.

This 7-page workbook creates space for meaningful conversations around goals, learning styles, communication, feedback, competition preparation, coaching expectations, athlete development, and next steps.

Rather than giving athletes control over the training environment, this resource helps them develop self-awareness while giving coaches a clearer picture of the athlete they are working with.

Inside the workbook:

• Start Here — Get to know the athlete beyond their performance
• My Goals — Identify short- and long-term goals
• Training & Competition — Explore learning style, how the athlete learns best, and competition preparation
• Communication & Feedback — Understand how the athlete tends to receive and process feedback
• The Coach’s Perspective — Give coaches space to reflect on what they see in the athlete
• Coaching Expectations — Document the coach’s short-term goals, long-term goals, and development expectations
• Next Steps — Turn the conversation into specific areas of focus and follow-up

This resource is designed to support clear communication, healthy coaching relationships, athlete development, and productive coach-athlete conversations without creating the expectation that every athlete preference must always be accommodated.

Perfect for:

• Individual coaches

• Team coaches

• Collegiate & high school programs

• Club sports

• Strength & conditioning professionals

• Athlete development programs

• New coach-athlete relationships

• Mid-season check-ins

• Goal-setting meetings
