The "showing them you care" post got me thinking about making a questionnaire to have the players fill out. What are some questions you would put in this questionnaire? Here are some i've thought of:
1. What other sports do you play(in school, out of school)?
2. Do you have a job?
3. Who do you live with?
4. What's your favorite tv show/movie?
5. How long have your played football?
6. Why do you play football?
7. What do you want to get out of this season?
If anyone has one already that they use and would like to share, by all means please share.
Thanks

I don't agree with this at all. This must be a younger generation's "touchey-feely" everybody romp and frolic in the forest with the woodland creatures and have a group hug.
I want these guys to play for me...not erect a statue to me.

Ah, nothing says I want to get to know you like a slip of paper with questions on it. How about you just talk to them?  |

If I were a player my reaction would be, "A WRITING assignment - for Football?! Nobody told me there would be writing!"
If I were the coach, my reaction would be, "Great - MORE student papers to read."

Just my 2 cents, but I would hope you can get to know your kids and those questions specifically by having conversations with them.

I know of some teams that have their players write in a journal once a week.

Many programs do things like this. This comes from Coach Stiegelmeier at South Dakota State. This list is much longer, but this is an excerpt. XandO Labs did an awesome piece on this very topic last week. It is well worth the membership fee to be a part of their site.
1. Your greatest accomplishment?
2. The lowest moment of your life?
3. The one trait that is most important to you in your future wife?
4. Most inspiring person you ever met and why?
5. A time or an event in your life when you realized that you as person had to change and why?
6. The biggest lesson that you have learned while being here at SDSU?
7. When you die, what are two qualities/ values do you want people to say about you?
8. What is your biggest regret in life and why?
9. What was your childhood dream?
10. You have 24 hours left before the end of your life, what would you do with your time left on earth?
11. If you were a millionaire, but you had to spend it, who and what would you spend it on?
12. How would you define success?
13. Most embarrassing moment?
14. Major and what you intend to do with it. If you are undecided, what do you want to do when you graduate?
15. Favorite Movie?
16. Favorite Superhero?
17. Who has been the most influential person in your life and why?
18. Three people you could have dinner with alive or deceased and why?
19. Hobbies/What do you like to do in your free time?
20. Favorite meal and why?
21. Tell us something about you the nobody/most people don’t know?
22. Celebrity crush?
23. Craziest thing that ever happened to you?
24. You’re on death row – what’s your last meal?
25. Who’s your best friend and why?
You don't have to do this all at once. Do this in parts. There are many ways to get to know your players. There are many ways to teach character and leadership. There are many ways to build trust and family within your program. These questions have nothing to do with football.
