Hi all — I'm a parent of a youth lacrosse player and software engineer. I got tired of getting vague development feedback from coaches ("needs to work on fundamentals," "ground balls could improve") without a clear sense of what to actually do about it as a parent.

So I built a free quiz. About 2 minutes, 12 questions on observable things — what your player does with the ball, what they do off-ball, their physical style, stick skill comfort, how they handle mistakes, what motivates them. The output is a personalized "player archetype" (something like "The Field General" or "TheRelentless Grinder") plus 3 strengths, 3 development areas, and 3 specific next actions you can work on at home.

Works for U8 through high school, all positions. No signup, no email required, no ads, no monetization — it's a side project, and right now I'm just trying to figure out if it's actually useful or if I just convinced myself it is.

What I'd love from you specifically:

  • Did the result feel like your player, or did it feel generic?
  • Were the next actions concrete enough to actually act on, or too high-level?
  • Anything obviously missing — questions that should be in there, or output sections you'd want?

I'd much rather hear "the drill suggestions are too generic" or "this missed something obvious" than nice-sounding feedback. Roast it if needed — that's what'll make it better.

Thanks for any time you give it.
