Gators 1-0! Is this good data?

The final score had Florida Gator fans thrilled, the clock ended with a 34-7 victory, however the post game interview with head coach Urban Meyer told a different story. Said UF coach, "I was disappointed after that game because I felt like we could play so much better."

Disappointed?!?! Did we just watch the same game?


I realized that as we looked at the final score, we JUDGED the performance of the football team and we were pleased. However the score did not INFORM us on how well the football team performed. Granted the Gators performed better than Southern Mississippi, yet in the language of Assessment and Accountability Coach Meyer and his players believe that improvement comes from looking at individual performance and growth.


Offensive lineman Drew Miller expressed next actions perfectly, "We've got to get better. We've got to watch film, make adjustments, and be better."


Unlike Drew, what film do I have to gauge my growth as NESS Program Facilitator?
When looking at the performance of our New Educators, Instructional Coaches, or the NESS Liaison - what film is available?
