Managing Data # SpCP13

As a coach and teacher there are many expectations to be able to manage sporting data. This refers to analysing the athlete or students performance, reseaching and gathering information from primary, secondary and meta sources.
It also involves comparisons from athlete to another, one team to another, and one competition to another. It also consists of the analysis of tactical, physical and technical performance.

What is the easiest and most efficient way of acquiring and representing this data?

I believe the easiest way as a coach/teacher is to break it down into small steps and procedures to increase efficiency and accuracy.
1. Identify what is being measured - skill, physicality, performance, results or technical performance
2. Conduct measurements - comparisons
3. Record measurements
4. Represent measurements in appropriate ways i.e graphs or tables
5. Evaluate the effectivennes, store the data and provide feedback to athletes

I believe these 5 steps are the most basic principles to managing data as a coach or teacher.
