Use Your Result Like a Coach

A simple way to turn your archetype into better decisions, smarter training, and a clearer role on the pitch.

1) Identify your 2–3 core traits

Lock in what actually drives your playstyle.

  • What do you do under pressure: slow down or speed up?
  • Do you create, finish, or control space?
  • Are you risk-first or safety-first with the ball?

2) Confirm your best-fit role

Match strengths to a role that rewards them.

  • Choose 1 “primary” role and 1 “secondary” role.
  • Define 3 job rules (e.g. “scan early”, “one-touch”, “recover”).
  • Ask your coach which role fits the team system.

3) Pick one weekly improvement focus

Small focused wins compound fast.

  • 4–6 weeks on one skill: finishing, first touch, scanning, 1v1.
  • Add a measurable goal (e.g. “10 weak-foot reps daily”).
  • Review match clips to track progress objectively.

4) Build chemistry with your team

Use archetypes to balance partnerships.

  • Pair creators with runners, controllers with pressers.
  • Define who takes risks and who stabilizes.
  • Share results to align expectations and communication.
