CHIPP™
Because sometimes the athlete isn't the problem.
Athletes develop inside systems. Coaching habits, expectations, practice design, communication, roles, culture, and pressure all shape the athlete experience.
CHIPP™ helps practitioners understand the environment around the athlete.
The CHIPP™ Framework
COMPASS
Direction and alignment
Are expectations, standards, priorities, and cues clear?
HABITS
What happens automatically?
What behaviors and routines appear — especially under pressure?
INFRASTRUCTURE
What supports the system?
Are roles, accountability, resources, and reinforcement supporting development?
PRACTICE ENGINE
What does practice actually build?
Does practice develop the behaviors athletes are expected to demonstrate?
PULSE
Can the system detect problems early?
Can coaches recognize emerging issues and respond before they become larger problems?
PRIMARY SYSTEM CONSTRAINT
Find the environmental constraint that deserves attention first.
CHIPP™ identifies the coaching-system area most likely to require attention — so practitioners can focus their energy where it matters most.
My Compass™ looks at the athlete. CHIPP™ looks at the environment.
We do not collapse the two into one score.
