ABSTRACT

In the application of match analysis in training and match play, an important step in the analysis process is the presentation of results. Most coaches do not have hours to spend sifting through and trying to understand large amounts of information, and unfortunately problems do often occur. Therefore, the choice and presentation of results are highly important. Once the coach has the information required, this needs to be presented to players either individually or during team talks in the most interesting and beneficial way. This chapter concentrates on ways of looking at and analysing data, and offers advice on different presentation formats and on what and how to present during team talks, information that is gleaned from match analysis. Suggestions are also given on how to avoid potential problems when evaluating results.
