| To my mind if you don’t record what happened in a game, you can only monitor your team’s development by results and your players from memory. I think this is unsatisfactory. I advocate a game analysis system to enhance your ability to assess these things and boost the quality of your feedback. Attached are a Game Analysis Sheet template and a completed example. With a simple game analysis sheet like this, you can record all aspects of all your players' games, be it tackling, passing, supporting, scrummaging, or kicking, etc., using ticks or a number rating system (such as 1–10). The analysis can also be used at half time to praise individuals or to identify areas which need improving. However, we don’t advocate comparing individuals directly and don’t use the analysis to criticise individual players. How do other coaches ensure they record team and player information from games? Do they think the system we use is appropriate? I'd appreciate your views. Best,

| looks comprehensive Toby, but is it intended as a "wrap up" sheet, or a "wprk in progress" sheet? ie is its use more for summarising other game stats that were made in other ways, or woud it rather be a live game stat/analysis recording device (profiling) as play continues? I can see its use as the former quite clearly (as per the example) - but in which case how would you be collating the underlying profiling information to create the analysis sheet from? I can't easily see how however it could be sued for the latter - something may be esscaping me! cheers didds

| I intend to try it out after this weekend game, it should produce a very valuable record of players consistency and development, this couod then be the basis of completing the positional profiling analysis.

| I use the sheet both during games for realtime analysis and after games as a summary sheet and consequently a planning sheet for training. Realtime: I use a code of dots for "good" and crosses for "poor" bits of play in the four categories. I will either focus on 4 or 5 players or a couple of units (ie centres, back row). Alternatively I get my subs to watch 3 or 4 players each and record the results. Quite often I'll only analysise the first half and then a quick glance just before half time allows me to give accurate performance to individuals and units. Summary: I use a simpler sheets to record good and bad in the 4 sections and then sit down with my other coaches to give scores out of 10 to each player. This highlights areas of weakness and strength and forms the basis of planning for the next week. I tend to pick an area that I have doubts about (support play for example) and focus on that for a week or two and then move on. Experience has told me that if you try and see everything you end up seeing nothing. This is where videoing games if possible is invaluable, although the analysis can take over your life if you let it. The other thing you can do is say to your players building up to tha game that you are going to be focussing on their tackling and use it as a motivational tool. I hope some of this helps and if you have any other questions just let me know. Cheers Paul
