Common problems for Coaches, Staff & Athletes

3

Collating data time consuming and laborious

Fragmented data is hard to collate and coaches don’t have

the time or the technical skills required to do this

Data Data everywhere

Powerful data is under-utilised due to difficulty in collating it

in an efficient manner and this leads to a lack of uniformity

and continuity as well as being time consuming and

laborious to collate all this information together

Communication and Feedback

isn’t always provided in most effective manner. Research

has shown that athlete buy-in into a monitoring system is

greatly enhanced if communication and feedback are

provided in an informative and intuitive way.

Roadblocks

Progressive coaches buy into the

value of monitoring and analysing the

complete holistic picture of the athlete

but there is a mindset change involved

for both athlete and coaches/staff.

There is a discipline involved initially

3

Mindset change for coaches and players

Humans are allergic to change. They love to say, 'We've always done it

this way.' I try to fight that. That's why I have a clock on my wall that

runs counter-clockwise - Grace Murray Hopper

Roadblocks

3

Availability of staff to analyse data

The difference between what is technologically possible

and what coaches and trainers can use based on ability

has created a “Sports Science Gap”

Lack of continuity and uniformity due to turnover

in staff

When staff go, information often goes with them

Intellectual property

If I am the coach and I write these programs,

why should I share them, don’t I own the IP?

Making sense of dataChallenge is how to get meaningful data into the hands and minds of the people who

can make effective use of it!

A central hub of data should become

a funnel or platform to collate

determine the probable future

outcome of an event or the likelihood

of a situation occurring.

Predictor variables can be measured

over time to predict future behaviour

Empowering Decisions and Changing Outcomes

Our descriptive analysis details

trends and patterns and

highlights significant deviations

from normal behaviour to

coaches and athletes.

We use Z scores to highlight any

deviations. A Z score describes

how much a point deviates from

a mean of a group of data. We

compare last 7 days with

previous 28 days and last 28

days with previous 84 days (3

months) for individual athletes

and provide group comparisons

for relevant variables.

Colour coding is used for

visualisation and we include min,

max, averages, and comparison

to groups values.

Our predictive models are

currently in-house consultancy

projects where we apply different

models and liaise back with the

client. We will develop these

over time to eventually create an

in-product learning model.
