There are several ways to utilize your PARS Coordinator from just simple administrative tasks to full assessment responsibility... and ANY stage in between... the hybrid model.

BwP's recommendation is for you to let go of assessments, delegating them to a PARS Coordinator.  For you to never do another assessment.  But if you need time to build confidence and trust your PARS Coordinator... if you want to go slow... here are some hybrid suggestions for you to do that.

The first column is delegating the administrative tasks only.  The middle column is allowing your PC to do assessments for Stage 1 & 2 fighters.  And the third column is for delegating complete assessment responsibilities for everyone.  The model we run in both of our gyms.

*  In our test gyms, 59% of the fighters were Stage 1 or 2.

**  The printed BAR gives the PC & Coach a place to make notes during the consultation stage.  The fighter takes the report home with them.

The Consultation phase is important and should never leave the coach out.  For a mature Coach/PC team, the PC goes over the BAR with the fighter (and family, if present) but sticks to reading the BAR for obvious, numeric points.  The PC then consults with the coach to share what the BAR shows plus what they observed. Next, the coach consults with the fighter and their family expanding on what the BAR tells them to include the coach's perception of what it means and how the fighter might adapt their workouts to adjust for weaknesses or declines shown in the BAR.  There should be a coach/fighter consultation after every assessment.
