Good performance?

Interest

• As coaches we often see our trainee soldiers struggle with certain personal aspects. The best way for them to improve in these areas is through self education. This can be achieved using the performance profile, which is a psychological tool that aids recruits in visually identifying their own weaknesses.

Need

• As instructors we can use this tool to our advantage as it can be used to aid us in the writing of reports.

• Trainee soldiers are able to identify their own weaknesses and see an improvement in these areas as they progress through the training environment.

• This in turn will give the trainee soldier a greater sense of achievement.

Aim

• Introduce you to the performance profile.

• Explain the 3 key stages
