Repeat goal and confidence ratings to notice direction, then pair each score with an example.
Make wins easy to name
A dedicated prompt surfaces progress and small experiments that might disappear in an open recap.
Bring blockers into the open
Ask what is stuck and what support would help, giving the next conversation a focused start.

Field guide
What a coaching check in form should include.
Use six sections to connect the last commitment to the next conversation.
Progress
Pair a rating with evidence.
A scale shows change; the follow-up explains it. Ask what event or behavior informed the rating.
- Progress or confidence rating.
- Change since the previous check-in.
- One concrete example behind the score.
Wins
Record what worked.
Ask for a meaningful win and the choice, skill, or condition that supported it.
- Biggest win since the last session.
- What helped make it possible.
- A lesson or strength to carry forward.
Blockers
Separate obstacle from support request.
Ask what got in the way, what the client tried, and whether they want perspective, accountability, or resources.
- Primary obstacle or friction point.
- Attempts already made.
- Type of coaching support requested.
Session agenda
Let the client set a priority.
One priority question helps the coach prepare without assuming every written issue needs session time.
- Most important next-session topic.
- Question the client wants answered.
- Context the coach should know.
Next commitment
End with an observable action.
Ask for a small next step, target date, and preferred accountability. Revisit it in the next check-in.
- One to three next actions.
- Target date or milestone.
- Preferred accountability method.

Coaching check in form questions
Practical answers for coaches creating a consistent between-session reflection.
What is a coaching check in form?
It is a recurring form completed before coaching sessions. It captures action progress, wins, blockers, confidence, requested support, and the next conversation's priority. The coach gets a preview while the client gets a reflection cue.
What questions should a weekly coaching check-in include?
Start with a progress rating and an example, action follow-through, one meaningful win, one blocker, what the client learned, the topic they most want to discuss, and one next commitment. Add practice-specific prompts only when they change how you prepare or coach.
How long should the form take to complete?
Keep frequent check-ins focused. Use ratings for patterns and short written prompts for insight. Clients should not need to write a full session recap; move deeper reviews into a separate form.
Can I use the same form every week?
Yes. Share one recurring link before each session. Keep core questions stable for comparison, then use conditional questions for a goal, program stage, or low rating.
Can questions change based on a client's answer?
Yes. Conditional logic can follow a low rating with a blocker question, ask for learning after a completed action, or reveal questions for the selected goal.
How should I handle sensitive client responses?
Ask only what you need, explain how responses are used, and do not promise immediate review unless supported. Give clients an appropriate contact route for urgent situations outside the form.
How is a check-in different from coaching feedback?
A check-in focuses on current progress and next actions. Feedback evaluates the coaching experience. Use check-ins throughout the engagement and feedback at planned milestones.
Is the coaching check in form generator free?
Yes. Makeform provides unlimited free form creation and responses. Generate, edit, publish, and reuse your coaching check-in freely. The paid tier only removes the Makeform badge.
