The Socratic Dialogue

I believe players often already have the answers within them—they just need the right guidance to uncover them. Using a dialogue-based, question-driven approach inspired by maieutics, I aim to stimulate critical thinking and help players reach their own understanding through strategic questioning rather than direct instruction.

My individual VOD analysis helps players reconnect with their intuition while also understanding the team’s overall synergy. It’s an evolving process where the player effectively “brings to life” their own tactical solutions.

Individual VOD Framework

Good Points

  • Highlighting correct decisions to provide crucial positive input.
  • Asking 'Why was this a good play?' so the brain registers and repeats it.

To Work On

  • Using the Socratic method to ask the player: 'Why did you make this decision?'
  • Guiding the player to self-identify mistakes without direct criticism.

Evolution Path

  • Defining clear, actionable methods for improvement.
  • Concluding every session with concrete individual and collective goals.
"To find yourself, think for yourself."
