How it works
The Judgment Index™ in sport is used to recognise decision making and problem solving skills that, if underdeveloped, may lead to high levels of stress, athlete burnout or poor game day behaviour. The idea of this is to identify the issue before it begins to affect the performance of the athlete. By identifying the issues early, actions can be taken to support the athlete and prevent future problems.
What the Judgment Index can measure in sport:
- Stress management skills in both sporting and personal situations
Wellbeing and capacity for self-care- Energy levels and their likelihood of burnout
- Trainability
- Decision making under stress or during competition
- Team cohesion
- Player coach relationships
The Judgment Index reports have also successfully been used for coaches, trainers and support staff to effectively develop a strong and cohesive playing group.
Our reports are able to be used from 15 years of age and are suitable for use in development squads or high performance youth athletes wanting to develop their personal judgement and decision making within their sport.
