Closely related with the overarching vision of player development is the proper assessment of a player's performance and development throughout the season. The player development can be depicted in SAP Sports One by the so-called player evaluations.
Due to the connection to the club's training management vision, the definition of evaluation categories and evaluation subcategories is one of the most important initial configurations. The coverage of all possible evaluation categories in professional football enables the club to decide individually for each team and each player in which areas and in which categories a player evaluation should later be carried out.
These player evaluations are also closely related to a player's previously created skills. This is mainly because the skills a player needs in the current development process are similar to the categories in which the player is evaluated by coaches or other staff members. For this reason, we recommend using the same best practice for creating evaluation categories that was already used for the skills.
To receive a comprehensive list of all best practices for the evaluation categories, get in touch with your SAP contact.
Note
To be able to create and manage player evaluation categories you need the role of administrator and the corresponding permission on Categories at Evaluations. An overview of all SAP Sports One user roles is available on the SAP Help Portal (User Roles | SAP Help Portal).
If you have the required permissions, you can create player evaluation categories in SAP Sports One at Evaluations in the catalog.
Once you've added a evaluation category, you can give the category a name and a description. When interacting with the created evaluation category, you have the option to edit, move, and delete the category. You can also add a new subcategory. This enables you to set up the evaluation category structure in SAP Sports One, in a similar way to setting up the structure for the skills of a player.
Another option is to add attachments to a category. This allows you to store all documents that are helpful for evaluating the players directly in the category.
You can also use the search bar at the top left to search for already existing categories.
