Observations by the Coach
Good coaches are likely to be
experts in observation and
Analysis…..
Are they?
Studies have shown that:
Coaches could only recollect 30%
of key performance factors that
they actually seen.*

Introduction
• Name is Danny Turley.
• Managing Director of Performa Sports Ltd.
• Over 7 years experience working as
Performance Analyst for the Armagh GAA
team.
Common methods and
associated problems
• Notational Analysis through old age technique
of pen and paper.
• Post game stats report.
• Post game video analysis.
• 2 – 3 player video compilations.
• Motivational videos.
The Problems (the pain…)
• Time – current process too slow and the
analysis data was not being used effectively –
key information should be available to help
coaches plan their next training session.
• Pen and paper method was too vague, and
hard to feedback down to the sideline where
the information counts.
