Establishing an Applied
Performance Culture:
Staff
Head coach buy-in and support is the most important factor for
development of an applied performance based culture

Have a clear understanding of head coach’s vision and


expectations for the program

Be able to establish and maintain effective lines of


communication with coaching staff and all essential personnel

Push to maintain a unified front within all departments. This


provides consistency in message and approach

Build your own army within your athletic department, university,


and community
Establishing an Applied
Performance Culture:
Players
Must be able to explain “THE WHY”

Your individual RELATIONSHIPS and ability to provide


meaningful feedback will determine compliance and buy-
in

There is brilliance in simplicity

Start from the top. If the head coach, veterans, and impact
players embrace it, the rest of the team will follow

Consistency trumps all!


All sessions must be tracked
“You can’t manage what you
don’t measure.”
Technology in Sport:
Old School vs. New School
"Coaching is like driving a car, steering, changing gears
etc. are the automatic functions, meanwhile you check the
dials on the dashboard (use of sport technology)
intermittently. Unfortunately you can't drive just looking at
the dashboard." Fergus Connolly

We want the best of both worlds

Relationships before results

We manage people not data


Technology in Sport:
Old School vs. New School
Innovation vs. Experience:
Q: Age is no guarantee of efficiency.
James Bond: And youth is no guarantee of innovation.

It is easy to fear what we don’t understand

Must be able to collaborate and learn from each other to


continue to advance the profession

Data Aggregation and Analysis

Name session and tag players

Create drill splits

Apply drill splits to all session files and upload data to web
based SPI IQ interface

Customize key performance variables and generate


individual/team session reports

Review risk alerts, session summaries, perform


comparative analysis and generate PDF reports for
relevant staff
Reporting
“Turning Information into Insight”
“Only after raw numerical data are given rich context do
they become information that can be used in the decision-
making process. It is important not to be tricked into
seeing numerical data as information just because
someone has put numbers in front of you." - Ben Alamar
in Sports Analytics
Must provide meaningful reports and streams of data
Coaches want information and recommendations
Eliminate the fluff, coaches are not sport scientists!
Focus on what causes or inspires intervention/change.
Data must be a driver for decision making
Managing the Training Process:
Mindful, Logical, and Progressive

Proactive vs. Reactive


Provide solutions not excuses or explanations
Don’t let one bad day beat you twice

Nowhere to hide. Use data to motivate, generate buy-in,


and increase accountability

Session 1 (Recovery/Prep)
Low CNS demand, Moderate Heart Rate Exertion (Shooting),
technical/tactical emphasis
Extended warm-up to facilitate recovery/regeneration

Session 2 (High Day)
Every rep counts!
Fast, Physical, and Precise
High CNS demand, Moderate/High Heart Rate Exertion
Intensive general and specific warm-up
Resume full court activities (transition, controlled scrimmages
etc.)
Players respond favorably to higher intensities and lower
volume
