Getting started with statistics (beta)

Statistics in Planr is built for handball coaches who want to track how the team and individual players develop over time. You record numbers from matches, live or after the fact, and use the insight in your training planning.

Beta module

Statistics is currently a beta module. That means it is mature enough for daily use, but you may notice small adjustments while we polish it. At the top of Statistics there is a banner where you can easily send us feedback.

We are opening the module for selected coaches and clubs. If you do not see Statistics in the profile menu and want to try it, get in touch and we will consider enabling it.

How Statistics is laid out

You find Statistics from the profile menu. The module has two main sections:

  • Statistics with two sub-pages: Dashboard and Total.
  • Matches with two sub-pages: Matches and Squad.

In addition you have live recording, which opens from a match.

What you do where:

  • Build the Squad before your first match.
  • Create matches in Matches and record them live or afterwards.
  • Track development in Dashboard and Total.

See Recording a match and Season totals and development for details.

The philosophy: development, not ranking

Statistics in Planr is built around a few principles worth keeping in mind before you get started:

  • Follow trends, not single numbers. Averages over time say more than any single match.
  • Celebrate more than goals. Assists, steals, good defensive actions and save percentage deserve as much attention as scoring.
  • Keep negative numbers internal. Misses and technical errors belong in your own analysis, not on the team list.
