How to facilitate
1

Kick off the session by welcoming everyone and briefly recapping the league match to get everyone's head back in the game.

Give the group a few minutes to silently review, comment, and upvote the most impactful cards in each column.

4

Facilitate a discussion starting with MVP Moments, celebrating standout plays and teamwork. Encourage specific shout-outs.

Pro Tips

Encourage players to review game footage ahead of the retro for richer, more detailed insights.

Keep discussions solution-focused, especially when analyzing mistakes, to maintain a positive atmosphere.

Ask quieter team members for their perspectives to ensure everyone’s voice is heard.

Set a timer for each section to keep energy high and discussions concise.

FAQ
What if some teammates are reluctant to share mistakes?

Frame the session as a way to improve together, not to assign blame. Highlight how learning from missed shots benefits the whole team.

How do we avoid repeating the same feedback every match?

Encourage specific examples tied to the recent match, and revisit past action items to track progress and variety.

Can this format work for solo performance analysis?

It's designed for teams, but individuals can use it for self-reflection and improvement planning if adapted.
