How should I interpret the Score Trends Metric on my dashboard?
This graph displays the distribution of cognitive testing scores for multiple athletes, over a selected period of time. It breaks down cognitive test scores into buckets and tells you how many athletes scored within those buckets.
Why is this important? The Score Trends Metric graph allows coaches or personal trainers to view the distribution of scores for each cognitive test over an extended period of time for multiple athletes. This visualizes mental performance trends so that coaches can implement changes to athletes’ training at a team level.
How can I use this?
1. Prevent Burnout and Fatigue: Monitoring mental performance over time helps a coach spot signs of burnout or fatigue early. If athletes’ mental performance drops, the coach can adjust practice schedules, give them more rest, and use mental recovery techniques like meditation, visualization, or mental exercises like concentration grids to help athletes stay focused and energized.
2. Identify Training Effectiveness: By tracking mental performance trends over 30 to 90 days, a coach can see if their training methods are helping athletes improve mentally. If scores go up, the coach knows their approach is working. If scores drop, it’s a sign they might need to adjust their training to better support athletes’ needs.
