CSR ISLAND INSTRUCTIONS DOCUMENT & IMAGE FILE FOR PRINT

CSR Island is designed to be an interactive, engaging way for players, coaches, parents/guardians, and everyone else involved at CSR to start more open discussions around how we are feeling and where we want to ‘go’.

We want players to develop greater self-awareness of how they are feeling, as well as considering what they can do to get to where they want to and ‘travel’ around the map. Players will be able to place themselves of where they think they are at the start of the session, with a chance to reflect on this at the end of the session to see if they have moved.

For coaches, parents/guardians and sport psychologists, it helps to identify players who may be struggling (e.g feeling tired, distracted, or frustrated), or those players who may be thriving and performing well (E.g feeling confident, performing well, or wanting to be challenged).

The places are designed to reflect some of the key thoughts, feelings or behaviours that players may be experiencing at the start of a training session and reflect both positive and negative experiences. They are also designed to be metaphors and representations of the journey that a player may go through to reach their desired location, including showing the importance of utilising strengths and support.
