The system/software produced so much detail and had so many possibilities,  I genuinely feel it is the beginning of the second revolution of match analysis, the first being video tape. It also gives you a different view of the game, categorizing successes and failures numerically showing patterns graphically. I think if used in conjunction with video tapes, it gives a more complete analysis

I also feel this has a particular impact on the development of the female athlete and youth, since it is clear there is no personal criticism with this kind of statistical review. This objective form of criticism makes the point without undermining rapport and support between player and coach, which with many young athletics it is important for confidence.

Even in this first season, we kept an individual player’s match performance in a binder for anyone to see in our team meeting room. We had a page on each player’s performance, assessing number of balls won, lost, received, successful passes made, processional percentage, impact passes ( how many of their ultimately resulted in shots).
