Self-reflection should be performed at which levels?

• A. Only at the individual level
• B. Both at the individual level and with fellow staff, athletes and leadership
• C. With fellow staff only
• D. Only with leadership

Answer: (B)

Self-reflection works best when it happens on multiple levels, combining personal introspection with input from others. Reflecting alone helps you surface your own biases, decisions, and mistakes, but it misses how your actions affect athletes, colleagues, and the broader team. Bringing in feedback from fellow staff, athletes, and leadership provides real-world evidence of what’s working and where adjustments are needed, and it supports accountability and alignment with group goals. A solid reflective practice blends internal thoughts with external perspectives—after sessions, you can journal what went well and what didn’t, then seek concrete feedback from athletes and peers and discuss it with leadership to plan changes. If you only reflect at one level, you risk missing important impacts or overlooking blind spots. In short, integrating both personal reflection and collaborative feedback creates deeper learning and more effective coaching or teaching.
