Analysis And Performance Of Fiber Composites 3rd Edition
Sports performance analysis, or sports coding, is a technique used by coaches to record events that happen during a match.
Once the events in a match have been recorded, the data can be used to generate reports which help to show team strengths, team weaknesses and therefore help coaches to improve performances. Why would I use sports performance analysis?
Sports performance analysis helps coaches monitor and improve the form and performance of their players and teams.
Reports produce detailed views of both the home and away team performances. Comparisons show how each side played and why one side performed better than the other, demonstrating team strengths and weaknesses.
How does sports performance analysis, or sports coding, improve my team?
You can focus on improving the behavioural, physical, technical and tactical aspects of your teams.
Sports performance analysis, or sports coding, plays an important role in measuring, optimising and improving your teams performances, thereby realising goals and producing long term results - that's why professional coaches rely on it!.
Build a timeline of match events
Sports performance analysis, sometimes known as sports video analysis or tagging, generally involves using software, like the iSportsAnalysis 'Sports Performance Analysis' service, to build a timeline of events that happen in a match.
The events recorded depend on the sport being played; we have goals in football and trys in rugby. Some of the more common events might be home and away possession, fouls and red or yellow cards. Different coaches may want to focus on different events depending on their strategies.
Tagging and Coding match events
A timeline of match events is created by watching the video of the match alongside a 'Code window', or a 'Tagging pane' which contains all the possible events you want to record in your match.
As match events happen, a button in your code window representing the event is pressed; the event is added to your timeline. You continue watching your match video adding events to your timeline; you finish with a detailed, time specific picture of how your team and opposition performed.
Performance reports help you win!
The events in the timeline are used to generate reports demonstrating team and player strengths and weaknesses. You can use these reports to quickly see how to optimise your player and team performances.
Reports generated from sports performance analysis can be used to understand the opposing team's game-plans and strategies. If you understand your opposition's strengths you can put effective strategies in place, if you understand their weaknesses you can coach your team accordingly.

Happy Clients Testimonials
iSportsAnalysis has been instrumental in speeding up our game analysis and making it much more efficient. We are able to produce meaningful data quickly and make our footage and stats reports accessible to players and staff in a faster, more efficient, and easier way. For a club that is part-time and that has limited access time to the players, the fact that the stats are interactive and hosted online means we can connect to our analysis virtually which gives everyone involved in the performance side of the club much better access in really quick time.
Riteesh Mishra - Charlton Athletic Women’s Football Club
I have nothing but positive things to say about our experience with iSportsAnalysis. The product suits our needs from both an academic and applied sense. The customer service is outstanding; any issues (and there haven’t been many) have been acted upon without delay to a more than satisfactory conclusion. With the continuing development of the product I can see us using iSportsAnalysis for years to come.
Senior Lecturer, St Mary's university, Twickenham - Anthony Lockey
iSportsAnalysis have made it very easy for us to monitor and improve our team performances. The Commonwealth Games is a very important tournament for us and having the ability to analyze our games and share the results has been invaluable. Our players and coaches have been able to see their stats and re-play their matches at their own leisure, and on their own devices, making iSportsAnalysis the perfect way for our team to stay motivated and informed. iSportsAnalysis have supported us in every way and we are happy to have them as part of our team.
Cristy Mullender - Commonwealth Games - South African Netball
The Gloucester & District Referees Society spent six months searching for an online software platform that would enable us to analyse referee performance as an aid to training and developing our match officials, and found iSportsAnalysis.com to be the perfect fit for our needs. The ability to build our own bespoke code windows within the iSportsAnalysis software, use them to tag elements of a game and then publish them on our own online channel is unique to iSportsAnalysis.com
The Gloucester & District Referees Society - Tony Wakelin
After completing University I wanted to invest in my own piece of analysis software to push on my small business in the analysis of semi-professional sports clubs. After a referral from a friend I started my trial with iSportsAnalysis and can honestly say transferring over has been the best thing that has happened to my business thus far. Anadi has been second to none in going the extra mile to ensure I have settled well with the new software. I have never met anybody as passionate and knowledge about a product as him. I can’t stress enough how helpful, understanding and hard working Anadi is. Along with this, iSportsAnalysis is one of the most forward thinking software’s on the market, and it actually feels like it was made by analyst’s. The easy to use website has everything I would ever need and so much more, at a very realistic price. I would recommend Anadi and iSportsAnalysis to anybody in performance analysis and scouting, at any level.
Quentin Casey - Second Take Sports
I would just like to extend a huge thank you to iSportAnalysis for the unbelievable assistance their Sports Performance Analysis software offered during the TNL league. NSA (Netball South Africa) has indeed come up with a winning recipe by making iSportsAnalysis accessible to coaches, players and umpires. For someone with limited techno savvy, and with Cristy’s assistance, I was quickly able to master iSportsAnalysis which I used daily. The software was of invaluable assistance especially because of the logistics of my team members living far apart, and their work commitments preventing us from practising during the week. This programme afforded me the opportunity of communicating with the players through 'Coaches Corner' giving feedback regarding tactical work for the upcoming matches. Players, through this medium, were able to see which areas of play they need to work on and also to receive individual exercises during the week. iSportsAnalysis is an excellent aid for all passionate coaches and I would definitely recommend it to be used at all tournaments.
Sunbird's Coach - Netball South Africa - Theresa Rossouw
iSportsAnalysis is a huge way forward for any sports team, for the simple fact that you have amazing people like Cristy and Thaka (South African team) making sure we get the best footage after every game. iSportsAnalysis really is enabling me as First Team Coach at Jeppe High School For Boys, to engage with performance analysis on a different level. The editing and exporting of video clips are accurate, fast and of great quality. The attention to detail on the events filter is a dream to work with. The success of the team to date and in future is all down to the amazing expertise and attention to detail that iSportsAnalysis possesses. To have access to this on any laptop and all that is needed is an internet connection, makes your company a cut above the rest. I thank you.
Lance Louw - 1st XI Jeppe High School for Boys Head Hockey Coach
I think iSportsAnalysis is a huge way forward for clubs and teams, and because of the price point in relation to competitors, iSportsAnalysis really is enabling clubs at all levels, including those on smaller budgets, to engage with performance analysis. iSportsAnalysis reduces the need for costly third-party software that charges on a per analyst basis. There is no need for expensive video editing software, or hardware (I spent 1,700 Euros on a laptop I now realise I didn’t need to spend); the editing and exporting video clips is accurate, fast and of great quality.
Mayo GAA Performance Analyst - Paul Jennings
I love iSportsAnalysis, and love what it offers to help players do better.
Annelie Lucas - Southern Stings Players and Management
I have been super impressed with iSportsAnalysis and the students really love using it, the fact they can use it at home as well as at the university is really great!

Sport Performance Analysis gives coaches objective information which is used to optimise team and player performances.
It involves analysts using software, like iSportsAnalysis, to tag, or code, events during matches with a view to helping coaches understand the effectiveness of game-plans and strategies and to understand team and player’s strengths and weaknesses.
Here are some of the advantages of using performance analysis in sport.
Performance analysis provides factual, objective match information
Once an analyst has tagged, or coded, a match the information can be used to generate various statistics.
These may include: the home and away teams scores, penalties, possession, passes, areas of attack, scoring attempts, shot accuracy etc.
This information will be unique to individual sports; for example we have goals in football and trys in rugby.
The statistics produced by the analysts are usually unique to each coach that the analysts are working with as coaches, generally, have their own training methods, goals and targets.
When this information is presented with the home team and away team statistics side by side, it becomes more obvious as to how the match went for each side.
This method can be taken much further with analysts producing statistics for individual players, and producing in-depth statistics relevant to game-plans and team strategies. These stats might show where the team is strong or where they need practise and improvement.
Once coaches have factual match information they can be objective in their training and decision making.
Analysis And Performance
Performance analysis provides an overview of team skills including strengths and weaknesses
Performance analysis can be a very useful tool when used to monitor and feedback team skills, strengths and weaknesses.
Stats can be produced which give an overall picture of both the home and away team performances. Comparisons can be made as to how each side performed and why one side performed better than the other.
Performance analysis can also be a very useful tool when used to monitor individual players skills, and their ability to carry out game-plans and strategies. Stats can be produced to point out players strengths and weaknesses, which is essential when optimising performances.
Performance analysis creates a record of performances
Having a record of both team and player performance is invaluable when monitoring improvements in game-plans, team strategies and player performance.
It becomes easy to see which techniques used by coaches are effective and which are not. It may also be important to have records of team and player stats as coaches change and players move on to other teams.
Performance analysis helps your teams win more matches!
The advantages of performance analysis in sport and the reason so many professional, and amateur, teams are investing in performance analysis is because it helps them win more matches!
