Motivating players to take chances on goal can be difficult, but when they start counting and goal setting, it becomes much easier. When a player sees a big empty goal indicating that he has done none of these things, you can bet he'll have shooting on his mind next game. The Personal Timeline is a novel way of looking at an individual player's game, every second of play, every touch on the ball. The vertical bars show each time Andrew touched the ball and the result of that possession, red indicating he lost the ball, blue meaning he completed a pass, and green showing that he took a shot. The positions that he played and the intervals he was on the field are indicated along the bar as are goals scored by the team and the opponent.
Coaches can point out periods of inactivity or inconsistent play.
But compare that to his performance in the first over-time when he took 3 shots and almost never lost the ball. Perhaps the shift to left wing should be a permanent thing. The Combination Detail is tuned for older players who like to pick apart every nuance of their individual game. Every possession that a player was involved in is listed here showing who they received the ball from and who they played it to or how the ball was lost. Strings of passes are shown by listing the code for player who touched the ball followed by how that possession ended.
