Performance Plan example


Umpire

******************* example

PERFORMANCE PLAN 2021 -22


I am on the International Panel because of the following strengths I possess!

1. Strengths (describe in detail):

  • I have a good knowledge of playing conditions. I always keen to develop finer points of Law. I ensure that match runs smoothly with PCT.

  • I’m a calm person. I’m highly motivated to becoming the good umpire. My temperament is suited to my umpiring as I try to remain totally unperturbed. I ensure I’m always in control of my emotions and feelings.

  • I believe I read and understand the game well and always involved throughout. I will ensure I have good communication with my fellow umpires/ match referee and coach. I always take feedback in positive way and I’m always willing to learn and change for good.

  • I believe my routines and technique are good and with strong positive body language. I believe I have a good erect and relaxed posture on the ground. My match awareness and match management skills are competent.

2. Areas for improvement:

What are the aspects of umpiring I need to improve (be specific)?

  • I need to develop my TV umpiring skills.

  • I need to be a strong man-manager.

3. Personal/non umpiring areas for development:

In addition to umpiring related areas, what areas do I need to work on to assist with my life balance? (These may include areas that will assist me post on-field umpiring) list:

  • IT skills - management of data files, strong working knowledge of Microsoft Applications (Word, Excel, Outlook, PowerPoint).

  • Listen more and I do not talk or start conversation during the game if not required. I concentrate more on things in hand rather than talking. I will ensure that I will keep doing this moving forward in my career. I will continue attending workshops and willing to learn all new laws and playing conditions. I will continue working on creating a friendlier, welcoming environment where people want to umpire with me, and players want me to officiate, and people want to socialize with me. I will continue taking my family on Holidays to Europe and learn more about other cultures.

OK then, let’s get specific, what are 2 things (goals) I want to achieve in my umpiring over the next 12 months? At least 2 of those goals to be performance goals e.g. ‘Implement a consistent pre-delivery routine’. (Rather than outcome goals e.g. be ranked in the top 4 in the panel)
