Peer Feedback Template

Structured templates for requesting and giving honest feedback to teammates.

Why Peer Feedback?

We all have blind spots. Research shows self-assessment accuracy improves dramatically when combined with peer feedback. Your teammates see things you can't.

Requesting Feedback

How to Ask

When: After training sessions or competitions (not during) Who: Teammates who've played with you recently How: Share this form or use the digital assessment

Digital Option

Use the Player Assessment Tool with the "Get Peer Feedback" feature for automatic comparison and blind spot detection.

Giving Feedback

Guidelines for Honest, Helpful Feedback

Be specific: Not "you're inconsistent" but "I noticed your pointing accuracy drops in the last 3 ends"

Be kind but honest: Sugarcoating doesn't help growth

Focus on behavior, not personality: Not "you're negative" but "after misses, your body language affects the team"

Include positives: Balance areas for improvement with genuine strengths

Offer observations, not judgments: "I observed..." not "You always..."
