Coach Engagement
Eliminate coaching distractions
Delegating game roles, allows coaches to focus on their main tasks of teaching, developing and strategising. Delegating the tasks of player rotations, stats, scoring, note-taking and timekeeping, allows the coaching team to focus on their primary task — coaching.
Volunteer Engagement
Transform volunteer involvement for the better
Ensure data collection on game day is collaborative and enjoyable. Use digital tools to allow volunteers to make a meaningful contribution. Volunteers can concentrate on their specific role, while the data remains centralised.
Game Strategy
Game Day Planning and Strategy
Game planning relies heavily on statistical analysis, to identify patterns/trends and understand the team’s strengths and weaknesses. A data-driven approach allows for more informed tactical adjustments which influence substitutions, rotations, team selection, and overall game management – leading to improved team performance.
Analysis
Post-Match Analysis
Review player time distribution and game stats, to evaluate individual contributions, fatigue levels and effectiveness of playing positions and substitutions during the game. Statistical analysis post-match, assesses the overall team and individual performance for a specific game – to identify strength and weaknesses, and adjust for upcoming matches.
Culture
Promote a culture of confidence and success
Drive team culture through agreed KPIs collected by Rookie Me Play. Establish common purpose and fuel data-driven, insightful conversations to enhance team performance.
The Science
Backed by research
Research Point 1
Lack of game time for a player is a Top 5 contributing factor for disengagement with Australian rules football.¹ The primary reason for participation in alternative sports was based on the opportunity for more game time, more touches during the games and greater scoring opportunities.¹
Research Point 2
It is well established that playing multiple sports from a young age leads to a wider skill set, by extension the rotation of players through multiple positions on the field will likely result in a more well-rounded footballer²,³.
Research Point 3
Stint duration of an individual athlete results in an exponential decay in running intensities i.e., the longer a player is on the field, the greater the decrease in their running output⁴. There is also a strong correlation with overuse injuries and training exposure / volume of exercise, highlighting the need to properly manage an athlete’s playing and training time⁵,⁶.
