SWOT Analysis Worksheet: 2.1.1
Objective:
Identify the key areas that will elevate your performance — both on and off the court.
Section 1: Strengths
Guiding Question:
What skills, qualities, or habits give you an edge in competition?
Instruction:
Reflect on the attributes that consistently help you perform at a high level. Consider what coaches, teammates, or even opponents would say are your greatest assets.
Examples of Strengths:
-
Remaining composed under pressure
-
Leading through actions, not just words
-
Locking in and focusing during critical moments
Your Answer:
(Example: “I am disciplined in training and maintain my composure during high-pressure moments.”)
Section 2: Weaknesses
Guiding Question:
What areas limit your performance or hold you back when it matters most?
Instruction:
Be honest and objective. Identifying weaknesses is not about judging yourself — it’s about finding your next growth opportunities.
Examples of Weaknesses:
-
Inconsistent daily routines
-
Struggling to stay confident in tight games
-
Hesitating to step into leadership roles
Your Answer:
(Example: “I sometimes pass up open shots in high-pressure moments because I doubt myself.”)
Section 3: Opportunities
Guiding Question:
What resources, environments, or chances exist right now that could help you improve?
Instruction:
Think about support systems, tools, or upcoming experiences you can leverage to accelerate your growth.
Examples of Opportunities:
-
Access to one-on-one coaching
-
Extra gym time or skills sessions
-
Leadership roles opening on your team
Your Answer:
(Example: “I have the opportunity to work privately with a coach to sharpen my shooting consistency.”)
Section 4: Threats
Guiding Question:
What obstacles, distractions, or risks could interfere with your growth?
Instruction:
Consider both internal factors (like mindset challenges) and external factors (like competing priorities or injuries).
Examples of Threats:
-
Poor time management with school and training
-
Risk of injury without proper recovery
-
Self-doubt impacting confidence before big games
Your Answer:
(Example: “I often overthink before games, which hurts my focus and energy.”)
Reflection & Next Steps
Leveraging Strengths:
How will you use your strengths to directly improve a weakness?
(Example: “I will use my strong training discipline to intentionally practice high-pressure situations in workouts.”)
Focusing on Opportunities:
Which opportunity can you maximize right now to overcome a threat?
(Example: “I’ll take advantage of extra gym access to build confidence handling late-game situations.”)
Weekly Action Plan:
What is one specific action you will commit to this week?
(Example: “Each practice, I’ll simulate five ‘game-winning shot’ situations under pressure.”)
Bonus: Personal Growth Commitment
Commitment Statement:
Write a clear, simple commitment to how you will focus on your personal growth over the next month.
This could involve skill development, mental resilience, leadership, or any critical area you choose.
(Example: “This month, I will strengthen my resilience by practicing daily visualization before practices and games.”)
