Player Performance in Macro Planning with Analytics

There are numerous ways that macro planning can be used to analyze a player's development. It is particularly useful to examine how a player's performance has developed during this planning period and how they have achieved their target. In this way, statements can also be made about whether their performance data reflect the macro planning training objectives and what progress they have made in precisely these training objectives.

In this example of analysis, the focus is, therefore, set on performance data development over a specific macro planning period. As an example, a macro period of two months was chosen, which is focusing on the area of athletics. As depicted in the analysis graph below, it can be seen that during the period of macro planning process the player covered more meters on average. While in the first weeks the value was still clearly below average, the player was able to increase their performance data in terms of the athletic value in the following weeks.

The implementation of macro planning and the focus on individual areas of training management thus has a positive impact on the players and on the fulfillment of the overarching club vision.

For the area of macro planning, many other analyses can, of course, be made. To get more information about how to access SAP Analytics Cloud and the reports mentioned, get in touch with your SAP contact.
