Receiving Subjective Player Feedback

Objective

After completing this lesson, you will be able to explain how to monitor players’ self-reported feedback to support medical insights.

Questionnaires for Subjective Player Feedback

Subjective player feedback provides essential insights into an athlete's physical and mental state. Data regarding pain, fatigue, stress, and general well-being often reveals early warning signs that clinical assessments might miss. By monitoring these factors, medical staff can intervene proactively to provide personalized health and performance management.

Integrating player feedback provides the final component for a comprehensive 360-degree view of an athlete's health, which is vital for making informed decisions. To collect this data effectively, you need a structured approach supported by optimized processes and clear communication. SAP Sports One enables you to manage this workflow efficiently.

Questionnaires in SAP Sports One are a powerful feature designed to simplify the collection and analysis of subjective player feedback. You can begin by creating question catalogs, which allow you to define structured questions on key medical areas such as physical condition, hydration, and nutrition. Building on this,Questionnaires provide the framework to determine which questions are sent to players and in what order, ensuring consistent player feedback.

Note

Please note that, as with performance data, the setup of questions and questionnaires is covered in detail in the learning course Exploring SAP Sports One – Team Management and Administration.

Let’s explore some practical examples of how Questionnaires are applied in medical and health contexts. They are commonly used to gather regular feedback from athletes, such as through a daily well-being questionnaire. A daily well-being questionnaire can cover key medical areas with questions such as:

  • Sleep duration and quality
  • Mental well-being
  • Physical condition
  • Hydration levels
  • Nutritional intake
  • Use of supplements

Additionally, including questions about physical pain is highly beneficial. Players can identify specific areas of discomfort using a body map, which provides the medical staff with precise and actionable insights. It is the body map that you use when creating medical events.

Questionnaires help identify players who require medical appointments. This enables physiotherapists to quickly prioritize care and manage schedules more efficiently. For detailed instructions on using questionnaires for planning, please contact your SAP Sports One representative.

Overall, structured questionnaires and the collection of subjective player feedback provide significant value for medical staff, enabling improved monitoring, quicker responses, and more informed decision-making.
