Visual Data Presentation

STATUS: DRAFT

Numbers without context are meaningless. Heat maps without explanation waste time.

Your analysis must tell a story your players understand immediately.

Pitch Diagrams That Work

• Use your team colours
• Show maximum 5 movements per diagram
• Number the sequence clearly
• Add simple arrows for direction
• Include player names, not just positions

Heat Map Interpretation

Don’t just show where players were. Explain what it means:

• “Your heat map shows you never got into the box”
• “Look how much space you left between midfield and defence”
• “See how narrow we became in the final third”

Video Clip Compilation Rules

• Maximum 3 clips per coaching point
• Each clip under 30 seconds
• Clear audio commentary
• Slow motion only for technical details
• Always finish with full-speed replay
