Benchmarking and Comparisons

STATUS: DRAFT

Your players need context. “We completed 78% of our passes” means nothing without comparison.

Individual Player Benchmarking

Compare each player against:

• Their own previous performances
• Players in similar positions from other teams
• Age-appropriate professional standards

Team Performance Benchmarking

Track these key metrics weekly:

• Goals scored per match
• Goals conceded per match
• Pass completion percentage
• Shots on target percentage
• Set piece effectiveness

Performance Trend Tracking

Create simple graphs showing:

• Monthly improvement in key areas
• Home vs away performance differences
• Performance against similar-level opposition
• Individual player development curves

Use your tactical footage to show improvement. Split-screen comparisons of the same situation handled differently work brilliantly.
