GATHER DATA

Figure out when you are recording Meeting Notes and make it a habit.

• Before next practice

• Before leaving current practice

• At home after practice

• Another time

Everyone on a team contributes something. Having a single person record notes on a meeting may mean something important gets overlooked.

Drawings

CADD

Notes from ALL

team members

Photos

Gather EVERYTHING,

sort duplicates out later
