Entrepreneurial Mindset Assessment Tool for Athletes
For athletes who want to know where they stand before they start.
PDF, 25 pages, English
Fifteen to twenty minutes of questions, written in the language of sport. They cover how much of who you are is tied to your sport, ten parts of an entrepreneurial mindset, your confidence in six business skills, what is holding you back, and whether you believe you could start something of your own.
Each of the 10 mindset parts comes back green, amber or red, and every result points to a next step. Red is not a fail: it marks where to start training.
What’s inside
- Framework
- The ten parts of an entrepreneurial mindset the tool measures, and how the questions were written and reviewed.
- How results work
- The six areas you get a score for, the green, amber and red bands, and the profile chart.
- The questionnaire
- Seven sections, from your sport background to a few open questions at the end.
- Scoring key
- How to turn your answers into scores, and which part of the programme each result points to.
- Guides
- One for athletes reading their own results, and one for coaches and career advisers running it one to one or with a group.
Where to start
Taking it yourself? Print the questionnaire, answer sections A to F, then score them with the key and read your results with the athlete guide. The last section, G, is optional. Coaches will find what they need in the guide at the end.
