Performance analysis aims to systematically observe and analyze an athlete's performance to facilitate improvement. Coaches analyze various technical, tactical, behavioral, and physical aspects of performance. Technical analysis examines movement efficiency and mechanics compared to a perfect model. Tactical analysis assesses decision making and game strategies. Behavioral analysis observes psychology and mental states. Physical analysis measures attributes like speed, strength, and endurance. Coaches use methods like notation, video review, and statistical analysis to evaluate performance and provide feedback to enhance future results.
2. Lesson Objectives
• Describe what performance analysis is and
what it aims to do
• Explain what and why coaches observe and
analyse performance
• Be able to apply different methods of
analysis to the four areas of performance
(using practical examples)
3. What is Performance
Analysis?
• “Creating a Valid and
reliable record of
performance by means of
systematic observations
that can be analysed with
a view to facilitating
change”
• Only 30-50% can be
recalled after observing a
live performance!

4. Performance Analysis
• Aims to capture, analyse and evaluate key
components relating to performance and provide
concise feedback to inform future practice.
• Performance analysis may help talent identification
and there are links with elite sport (e.g. EIS)
• Qualitative and Quantitative approaches to
performance assessment
8. Technology to support
Performance Analysis
• Track Aero System
• http://www.bikeradar.com/gear/article/track-aero-
system-offers-real-time-aero-drag-data-36669/
9. Technology to support
Performance Analysis
• Apps – timemotion, Easytag, coachMVideo,
Ubersense
• Dartfish
• Prozone - (watch the promo video)
19. Summary
• Technical Aspects –
o efficiency of movement and its aesthetic
qualities –
o a thorough understanding of the technical
demands of the sport is essential to the coach
and performer –
o Always comparing to perfect model
• Tactical Aspects –
o Important in most sports especially games.
o Good tactical play is about decision making.
20. Summary
• Behavioural Aspects –
o Observing behaviour and assessing why
performers behave in a certain way is
crucial
• Physical Aspects –
o Physical fitness is a critical factor in most sports
o The physical training programmes should match
the demands made of the performer while
competing
