Sports Coaching App Uses: Sports Evaluations, Drafting Players, and Scouting

Youth Sports •

For coaches, scouts, and sports organizations, finding an app to effectively collect and analyze player data is not always an easy task. With so many coaching apps out there, it’s often hard to find the perfect fit for your program. There are many unique use cases out there for sports organizations, which is why finding a versatile application is important.

How Does a Sports Evaluation App Help Coaches?

Saves time

Time is our greatest asset, yet many coaches still do hours of data entry into spreadsheets and evaluate athletes using pen and paper. Having a coaching app where you can collect player data from a mobile device or tablet and input it into an app comes with many conveniences. This eliminates any data entry, and coaches have the ability to view player performance instantly after data is collected.

Communication can come in many forms, but we do know that when coaches, sports organizers, players, and parents are communicating, good things happen. Having an app to provide things like evaluation reports improves communication by providing direct feedback to athletes and parents, also working as a sports team communication app.

Streamlines decision making

Having access to player data means quicker, more informed decisions. As a coach, quick decision-making based on solid data can be a game-changer.

Provides player performance reviews

Objectively reviewing players, providing feedback, and helping them grow during your season are vital for development. You can even show players, through video, how they perform the skills they are being assessed on.

We provide an all-in-one solution for many coaches and scouts. There are many pain points we’ve addressed that have driven our app SkillShark, to be what it is today.
