Analyzing Team Evaluations

The further overarching vision for training management is to implement a uniform philosophy and style of play for all teams within the club. In order to determine the degree to which this vision is established and developed over the season, numerous analyses can be carried out too. This involves comparing all teams in all areas of training management.

For example, comparing the training objectives and player skills trained for a specific training period for each team can provide insight into the training management focus. This allows the club to determine whether there are similarities in training and whether, for example, a particular style of play or philosophy was favored. An example of such an analysis would be a ball-oriented style of play that has been established as the club's own philosophy.

In addition, other comparisons can be made between teams, such as comparing training intensities. This serves to determine whether there is a uniform approach to prepare players for advancement to future age groups and to ease their entry into a new training management environment.

In the following analysis, the minutes trained per team for individual tactics drills are evaluated and mapped. This will show how often drills from a particular category were trained and what the training focus was for each team in a given period. The following example shows that the overarching club philosophy is focusing on compact defending and that this philosophy is trained and internalized by both the professional team and the youth team.

At the beginning of this course, two overarching visions for a club were presented. The first vision focuses on the individual development of players, while the second vision aims to develop and internalize a consistent style of play and club philosophy.

The central question at the beginning of this course was how a club can successfully implement and ensure these visions. Throughout this course, it became clear that the training management visions can be implemented and fulfilled with the help of SAP Sports One.

SAP Sports One offers the possibility to effectively implement specific training management processes as well as club-specific requirements. An example of this is the differentiation between macro and micro planning and the precise focus on the subtleties of the different planning horizons.

The comprehensive training planning and training documentation in SAP Sports One also helps to enable the realization of visions and to measure progress through extensive analyses. In this way, potential problems can be identified and potential for improvement revealed.

Thank you for going through the course on training management. We hope you gained new insights and internalized the training management process.
