## Prompt

```text
Help me write a player scouting report from my notes.

**Sport and level:** [e.g. "soccer, second division", "college basketball"]
**Player:** [NAME or anonymized ID, age, position(s), foot/hand, current club or team]
**Matches or footage watched:** [DATES, OPPONENTS, minutes observed]
**My raw notes:** [PASTE]
**What my club needs:** [ROLE, playing style, system - e.g. "ball-playing center-back for a high line"]
**Report format or grading scale we use:** [e.g. "1-10 per attribute", "A-D", or "none"]

Write the report with these sections, using my grading scale where I gave one:
1. Profile summary (3 sentences): who the player is and the headline judgment.
2. Physical: speed, acceleration, strength, endurance, agility, and the position-specific physical demands of my sport.
3. Technical: the core skills for this sport and position (e.g. first touch and weaker foot in soccer; shooting, handle, and footwork in basketball), each rated with evidence.
4. Tactical: positioning, movement off the ball, pressing and defensive work, decision-making, versatility.
5. Mental: work rate, composure under pressure, leadership, response to mistakes.
6. Weaknesses and risks: specific, with the situations where they showed up.
7. Fit for our system and role, and the player's likely ceiling.
8. Recommendation: Sign / Monitor / Reject, with the next step (more live viewings, data check, background references).

Rules:
- Every claim ties to something observed; mark single-match observations as such. Never invent statistics, transfer values, or injury history; use [ADD DATA] where needed.
- Use precise, varied scouting vocabulary appropriate to the position, not generic praise.
- Flag where the sample is too small to judge.
- Keep personal or medical details factual and within what my organization permits.
