Module 1

Personality analysis

Every player in the role that suits him.

You know running distance, pass completion and duel stats. How a player is wired usually stays a gut feeling. The personality analysis builds a profile for every player across five scientifically established dimensions and translates it into concrete role and communication recommendations. The questionnaire takes under five minutes per player, and you can use the result from the next session onwards.

What's included

Every part of this module at a glance.

  • Personality profile for every player across five dimensions
  • Short questionnaire with 20 items, completed in under five minutes
  • Position and unit analysis: defence, midfield, attack, goalkeeper
  • Team distribution revealing personality clusters and gaps in the squad
  • Conversation questions about tasks per player including the right way to address them, without selection advice
  • PDF report per player for one-on-ones and parent meetings

Recommendations for you as a coach

Concretely: what you see in the data and what you do about it.

1

Clarify leadership roles

What you see

Only four of 18 players show high extraversion, six are low.

What you do

Distribute leadership across tasks rather than volume: give set pieces, warm-up and rest-defence to conscientious players instead of forcing a quiet captain to talk.

2

Adapt how you speak

What you see

A key player combines high conscientiousness with low extraversion.

What you do

Never criticise him in front of the squad, always one-on-one, and with a clear instruction rather than an open question. With this profile, follow-through measurably improves.

3

Prepare for pressure moments

What you see

Several players rate their emotional stability as low.

What you do

Practise reset routines after conceding with the whole squad, 5 minutes per session, before the next midweek run of fixtures.

4

Integrate new signings

What you see

A new signing's profile differs sharply from the squad average.

What you do

Actively support the settling-in: name the role clearly in the first month, encourage contact through changing small groups and check in after about four weeks.

Recommendation for this player

Derived automatically from the expression and ready to act on.

  • Conscientiousness · high (84)

    Rates himself as reliable with set pieces and routines. Ask in a conversation which tasks fit. Offer clear tasks.

  • Extraversion · low (32)

    Does not lead with his voice. Ask for calls explicitly instead of assuming them. His leadership runs through example and duels. Never criticise him in front of the squad, always one-on-one.

  • Emotional stability · medium (55)

    Copes with normal pressure but loses grip after his own mistakes. Introduce a fixed reset routine (gesture + cue word) and address him deliberately in the closing stages.

Distribution across the squad

18 players, grouped by expression per dimension.

Notable: only 4 players with high extraversion but 6 with low. The squad lacks vocal leaders. That explains the quiet dressing room after going behind, and can be addressed through roles and communication.

How it works

1

Players fill it in

Every player completes the questionnaire in under five minutes, via the app, from anywhere.

2

Profiles emerge

The answers produce a profile per player plus a team distribution across all dimensions.

3

You act

In the coach dashboard you get notes on roles and communication tips, and download PDF reports for one-on-ones.
