Players can reflect on feedback in their own time. Coaches get those invaluable talking points for one-on-one performance discussions.

The platform has uncovered untapped player potential, areas that needed refining, and offered a suite of tools to support goals & enhance skills, enabling player-led growth.

Strive is implemented across 3 age groups at the Academy. Each player self-assesses their abilities and records their progress during the season's 3 phases. These personal insights give coaches a holistic understanding of each player's strengths and opportunities for growth.

@FesterKeith first encounter with Strive was during a RFU Advanced Level Coaching course. He valued the platform's ability to integrate player IDPs (Individual Development Plans) seamlessly across the Academy.

We're thrilled to announce our partnership with Exeter Chiefs Academy. Discover how they leverage Strive in their environment to foster a culture of exceptional performance. Full case study:

#7 Long term planning. Planning for the future development of players and the team as a whole can be challenging. IDPs allow coaches to identify players with the potential to play at higher levels or take on leadership roles, enabling them to plan for future success.

#6 Monitoring progress. Tracking each player's development and making necessary adjustments to their training plans can be time-consuming and challenging. IDPs make it easier for coaches to monitor progress and make data-driven decisions to adjust training plans accordingly.

#5 Effective communication. Ensuring clear and consistent communication between coaches and players is crucial for optimal performance. IDPs facilitate better communication by providing a structured framework for discussing goals, leading to a culture of open feedback.

#4 Aligning individual and team goals. Balancing individual development with overall team objectives can be a real challenge. IDPs allow coaches to ensure that each player's goals contribute to the team's success, creating a coordinated approach to performance improvement.

#3 Time management. Coaches often struggle with limited time and finding the most efficient ways to allocate their time. IDPs help coaches identify shared goals and areas for development across the team, enabling them to address multiple players' needs simultaneously.

#2 Maintaining motivation. Keeping players motivated throughout the season can be challenging, especially when dealing with setbacks. IDPs help players set clear goals and track their progress, fostering a sense of achievement and motivation to continually improve.
