Notational Analysis is around nearly as long as sport is. Most people will be familiar with a standard notational analysis sheet. Obviously for each sport it will change, but the basic idea is very simple.
| # | Player Name | Shot On Target | Shot Off Target | Poor Pass | Good Cross | Bad Cross | ||
| 1 | John | 1111 | 11 | |||||
| 2 | Paul | 1111 | 1 | 1 | ||||
| 3 | Mark | 1111 | ||||||
| 4 | Tom | 111 | 11111 | 1 |
This is a very simple example but there are plenty of good examples on the net and I will be posting some of my own up here very shortly.
What I wanted to show you today is something called a Schematic. – Basically it is a map of the pitch (any sport) and instead of just a table of figures you begin to paint a picture of what happened during the game. Watch the video to see how I create mine. You might have different methods so feel free to share.
I used soccer for my example but it will work equally well for any sport.
