Module 2: Data tracking

What athletes see of their own numbers

The topic

All topics

Just because a coach can see a number live does not mean the athlete should see it live. Module 2 asks three questions: what to share, when, and how. Trend feedback belongs in a one-to-one debrief, not on the touchline. The programme also warns of number anxiety, particularly among adolescents and athletes prone to perfectionism. Share where you draw the line.

Questions to start from

  • Which numbers do your athletes see, and which stay with the staff?
  • What do you do when a number starts to worry an athlete?
