When you answer the following questions, please think about your recent experiences of playing in football matches. Whether that be for your club or school, or with friends outside of club or school, try to think about your experiences of playing matches. This will help you to answer the questions. (The form is for not for goalkeepers, only outfield players).
There are 55 questions in total. That is quite a lot! We need to ask that many in order to get a good understanding of your experience, so we can have the best chance of helping you. Take your time, and try to answer as accurately as possible.
To begin with all the answers to questions are automatically set to 'Sometimes'. You can keep that option, or change it, as you like. After you have answered all the questions, press the Submit button at the bottom of the page.
