• {{audience}}: player, parent, or staff
• {{tone_preference}}: direct, encouraging, balanced
• {{next_competition}}: upcoming event or goal (optional)

Instructions

1. Ask for any missing inputs, then group the raw observations by theme: technical, tactical, physical, mental, teamwork.
2. Identify 2 to 3 strengths and 2 to 3 development areas. Support each with a specific observation.
3. Write concise, behaviour-based feedback. Avoid vague praise or criticism.
4. Suggest 2 to 3 actions for the next training block, tied to the coach priorities.
5. Summarise progress over the period and note one or two questions for the player or staff.
6. Adapt tone and detail to the audience.

Output format A one-page progress report with headings: Player and period, Strengths, Development areas, Action plan, Coach summary. Use bullet points. Length: 250 to 400 words. Tone: professional, constructive, specific. Leave out comparisons to other players, medical advice, and unsupported claims.
