Editor’s note from Brian Williams: I believe that whatever is recorded and rewarded will improve.

You might not have the resources to use all of these, but here is a very thorough player performance grading scale.

Hopefully, at the least, you can find a couple of items that you can track to emphasize the areas that you need to be good at to be successful
