Soccer is no different, and many coaches are constantly looking for ways to improve their team’s performance. According to Hughes, et al. (2012) team invasion sports such as soccer provide an ideal field for analysis as they consist of a combination of individual techniques set within a team framework. Carling, et al. (2005) states correct analysis of performance in soccer is crucial if the player/team is to be successful. Carling, et al. (2005) further states that in order to use performance analysis successfully, it is necessary to have a clear strategy including what you wish to analyse, how you are to undertake the process and most importantly how this information can then be applied to improve performance. …show more content…
(2008) describe Notational Analysis is an objective way of recording performance, so that critical events in that performance can be quantified in a consistent and reliable manner. This enables quantitative and qualitative feedback that is accurate and objective. Spectators and coaches view matches differently, they often disagree about what happened, are unable to recall sequences of events correctly and fail to notice where successful plays originated or where mistakes
