Task 2(In Groups) – Discuss the benefits of player profiling ?
• To establish a baseline for team/individuals• What gets measured gets improved!• To focus on the critical areas for success• To inform our training programme for team/individual• To monitor the effectiveness of our training programme• To motivate players & team• To establish norms for physical, technical, and psychological
development• To create a pathway for success for others to follow• To embrace best practice
Interpretation & Talent Confirmation(checking for progress)
• Has there been significant progress in the critical areas?• Compare percentage differences(individual/team)• Comparisons within positions may be useful• Compare results with benchmark data• Provide individual feedback to players in the form of a hard
copy of their results• Realistic individual targets should be reset for each player using
their scores
Eg. Team Summary Football U16
Summary
• The initial assessment is used to establish the strengths, weaknesses, and priorities for development for each player, allowing an individualized programme to be prescribed.
• This represents a baseline level and further evaluations allow the effectiveness of the individualized training programme to be determined.
• Although sports performance is multifaceted, improvements in functional movement and physical fitness should facilitate enhanced performance during competition.
• For any structured yearly training, the coach and sports physiologist should decide on and plan all testing dates in advance. Generally appropriate testing times are at the beginning and end of each training phase, allowing assessment of the effectiveness of each phase. The coach can then use this information to plan the next training phase at both the team and individual level.

"On a good team there are no superstars. There are great players who show they are great players by being able to play with others as a team. They have the ability to be superstars, but if they fit into a good team, they make sacrifices, they do things necessary to help the team win" ---Red Holzman
