Am I an impact player?

Impact players don’t just participate in games — they influence what happens within them.

The Impact Player Self-Check is a short reflection tool designed to help athletes think more intentionally about how they affect the game, their teammates, and the moments that matter most.

In just a few minutes, athletes can reflect on the habits that shape their influence on the field, including communication, transitions, response after mistakes, and body language.

This quick self-check is a great starting point for athletes who want to better understand their role within the team and begin developing the habits that help them influence games in meaningful ways.
