Journal entries in My Stats Diary let athletes and parents capture the "why" behind the stats—how a game felt, what was learned, and what to focus on next. Over time, these entries become a powerful record of growth and mindset.

1. Open the Journal Area

From an athlete, team, or season view (depending on how your app is structured), look for a Journal or Notes tab.

• Click "New Entry" or "Write Entry".
• You can create entries after games, practices, or anytime during the season.

2. What to Write About

Use journal entries to document more than just results:

• How the athlete felt before, during, or after a game.
• What went well—effort, attitude, teamwork, or specific plays.
• What to work on next in training.
• Personal goals for upcoming games or the rest of the season.

3. Build a Habit Over the Season

Even short entries can be valuable when viewed over time. Encourage a quick reflection after each game or weekly check-in—this can help with confidence, focus, and long-term development.
