TITLE: Behind Closed Doors: a preview into the Silver Ferns implementation of performance analysis

Description: This research is a preview into a larger multiyear study which describes how the Silver Ferns netball team implements performance analysis into their campaigns. The purpose of this research is to provide insights for other performance analysts and coaches around success and failures within our practice. The two PA’s brought different strengths to the environment, data analytics and video feedback, and insights will be discussed around how these approaches are combined. Initial reflections have indicated a concerted effort by one PA apply the principles and stages of motor learning literature into the team preparation for a recent international test series. This was done during the development of the team’s strategy, while the other PA contributed analytical insights that contributed to tactics within these strategies. The wider study will report on the perceptions of this work by both the PA’s, management staff and the players in future publications.
