What is effective feedback?

The way feedback is delivered from an extrinsic source will have a bearing on whether it is effective or not.

When delivering feedback, the acronym STOVI can help you cosider the following five things:

  1. Source - Who provides the feedback?
  2. Timing - How soon after the performance is the feedback provided?
  3. Order - Does the coach provide the performer with positives before negatives?
  4. Volume - How much feedback is provided?
  5. Information - Does feedback include information or strategies on how to improve a weakness?
When considering how effective feedback has been, the acronym STOVI can be useful: source, time, order, volume and information.
