How to Create and Manage Athlete Assessments
The Athlete Assessment tool is designed to provide a standardised workflow for building, deploying, and reviewing performance tests. By centralising your testing protocols within a single interface, you can eliminate manual data entry and focus on analysing athlete progress.
Building an Assessment Template
To initiate a new assessment, navigate from your main Dashboard to the Analytics module via the side navigation menu.
- Access the Assessment Table: Select Assessments from the analytics submenu.
- Initialise the Build: Click Add View to open the assessment builder.
- Define Assessment Identity: Update the title field with the specific name of the protocol (e.g., T-Agility Test).
- Configure Instructions and Media: Use modular content blocks to provide athletes with clear execution guidelines:
- Headers and Text: Define test objectives and list required equipment.
- Visual Aids: Insert images or embed YouTube/Vimeo links to demonstrate proper form.
Configuring Athlete Input Fields
Once the instructional content is established, define the specific data or media you require the athlete to submit for review.
- Select Submission Formats: You can request data via text-based questions, image uploads, or video files for technical movement analysis.
- Question Configuration: When adding a question block, input your prompt in the header field.
- Finalise the Template: Once the parameters are set, click Save and Exit to resume later or click Publish to make the assessment available.
Assigning Assessments to Athletes
After publishing, the template will appear in your Assessment Table. To deploy the test to your roster:
- Select the Protocol: Locate the test and click the three-dot action menu on the right-hand side.
- Choose Distribution Options: Select assign to athlete. You can push the assessment directly to an individual's library or schedule it to their calendar.
- Bulk Scheduling: Alternatively, schedule assessments through the athlete calendar or team calendar for larger groups.
Monitoring Completion and Providing Feedback
Use the status toggles within the assessment table to track progress and manage coaching workflows.
- Track Status:
- Not Started: The athlete has received the assignment but has not yet opened it.
- Awaiting Review: The athlete has submitted their data, and it is ready for coaching evaluation.
- Review Submissions: Click into the specific assessment to view the athlete's responses and media uploads.
- Complete the Feedback Loop: Use the send feedback buttons to provide direct coaching cues.
- Finalise the Entry: Once the review is complete, click finish. This updates the status to completed and archives the data within the athlete's profile.
Tip: Regularly reviewing the Awaiting Review status ensures that athletes receive timely feedback, which helps maintain alignment on their long-term development path.
