MH Player Evaluations

At Janus, we use the following five point rating scale for our performance reviews. On a percentage basis, 80% of employees/players should be 3’s or 4’s. Your starters and best players should be 4’s. There should be very few 1’s and 5’s.

1 Needs Immediate Improvement - Performance is unacceptable and needs improvement
Bornstein (1’s generally do not have the potential or ability to maintain employment.)

2 – Below Target - Performance does not consistently meet expectations
Gooch (Was he replaced due to injury or performance – either way he was missing), Clark (has potential, but was by far the weakest starter, needs significant experience before returning to this level)

3 - Meets & sometimes exceeds target - Performance meets and sometimes exceeds expectations
Timmy (Although having more talent, he was not as sensational as previous American Goalies in the World Cup), Altidore (we are in a results oriented business and our biggest threat scored no goals in four games), Findley/Gomez/Buddle (Findley creates opportunities for himself and Buddle can finish, but Findley can’t finish, and Buddle can’t get open. Gomez has the most potential.)

4 – Exceeds target - Performance consistently exceeds expectations
Clint Dempsey (great player, scored loan goal against England), Maurice Edu (confident, massive presence, game-winner against Slovenia), Bocanegra/Demerit (strong, great in the air, we would have been in big trouble if either of these two could not play), Cherundolo/Felihaber (my biggest surprises, both created chances and played better than they are), Michael Bradley (significant leadership qualities for such a young player, future captain, learned from Confederations Cup experience (no cards), great goal against Slovenia, very close to a 5 performance).

5 – Significantly exceeds target - Performance consistently far exceeds expectations
Landon Donovan (Threatening, fit, determined, scored three of the team’s five goals)

  1. We use a similar thing at Travelers. For my first two years, we used the same system, 1 bad 5 good. Then, they made a switch. However, I did not know about the switch, so when I walked into my managers office and saw heaps of 2's and a 1 on the sheet, I almost cried. Then, it was explained to me that they made a change (why? I do not know.)

    Mark briefly brought up the lack of cards for Bradley. That was a big plus for me in this tournament - we had no red cards and limited yellow cards. Only suspension was Findley which was probably fine and also quite unjustified.
