Coach VUE instructions

Okay, we're going to do this the old fashioned way. Take out a piece of paper and a writing instrument. Write the numbers 1 through 9 down the side of the paper.

Next, read over the 9 statements to the right under Coach VUE. Each statement is about sports coaching. Each sentence may be completed by any of the 3 choices provided. All alternatives are positive and reflect different ways you can emphasize aspects of coaching.

Write down the letter of the choice that you think best completes the statement. For example, if for statement number 1 you think that "b. practical" is the best, write the letter "b" next to number 1. Do this for all 9 statements.

There is no time limit for this exercise, but you can complete it in about 5 minutes. When completed click "DONE".
