Instats 1.0

"Helping you make coaching decisions easier"

InStats 1.0 is designed to help coaches make decisions easier during a game. I created this App because when coaching I found it difficult to keep track of players performance statistically while at the same time formulating game strategies. As a result it was difficult to know for sure who to sub off and keep on based on actual real statistics, compared to mental note taking that provides no real tangible evidence for me the coach and the athletes.

An App that is not overwhelmed with so many variables to track, InStats 1.0 only has a "Plus" and "Minus" button in which the coach only needs to push one or the other for a positive or negative contribution towards the team's performance. At the end or during a game the coach can get a Set/Game summary of how each individual performed. Also, the coach can view the ranking feature that ranks players performance to get instant feedback of who is playing the best to worst, thus making decisions easier.

One possible solution to help regulate player’s performance was to think of using the "Plus" button as a encapsulation of positive things an athlete did (e.g. "Plus" = player accomplished the following: a kill, block or an ace and the opposite for the “Minus” button) or you could just focus on one particular skill (e.g. "Plus" = an offensive kill).

Another idea in using this app would be to measure skills/variables of your choice rather then individual athletes. For example you could measure Digs,Serves,Blocks,Net Faults, Passing etc and this would represent the skills performance as a team holistically. From this you would pinpoint where your team was making and losing points.

I hope InStats 1.0 helps make coaching easier and more successful.

Enjoy!
