Sports Information Desk for the Athletic Director and Coach

The Sports Information Desk is a tool that helps Athletic Directors and their coaches more efficiently manage and analyze the sports information for their team or teams. 

Listed below are some ways in which the Sports Information Desk can benefit Athletic Directors and their coaching staff.

In addition to the benefits described below, you can go to the Sports Information Desk main product page for a more in-depth description of SID's features.

Manage your team's information

A coach's responsibilities usually include off-field administrative and information management duties.  Depending on your team's level, this role varies.  College coaches may only need to review/analyze team and player information provided by other departments.  High school, AAU and youth coaches, on the other hand, often need to both create and manage all of their team's information, including statistics.

The Sports Information Desk can help Athletic Directors and their coaches at all levels better manage their team, player and game information.  Here are some benefits of the Sports Information Desk that apply to athletic directors and coaches:

1. SID gives you immediate access to all of your player, team, or game information from a single software application.  Simply open a Season to access all of your team's data.  
   
   
   
   In addition to storing a Season on your personal computer, Season data can also be stored on your local area network server's "common drive" and accessed from PCs that have SID installed.
    

2. At the High School level, a single installation of SID can support all of your school's sports, generating player profiles, statistic reports, etc. for every athlete and team in your organization.  Using our Season technology, you simply specify a statistical sport package when you create a new Season.
    

3. For college level organizations, you can easily reuse Season information created by your Media Relations department.  This can eliminate any potential duplication of data entry while also providing a common environment for the entire organization to manage, view and communicate a team's information.
    

4. You can provide season data, including statistics, to your players in the form of reports or a GameDiary CD.  Also, you can email most internal reports directly to players and other interested parties.  High school athletes seeking scholarship opportunities will appreciate the College Prospect profiles that you create within the Sports Information Desk.

Analyze performance

Statistics and game notes help a coach analyze and improve a team's performance, identifying trends and other tendencies that impact results.

The Sports Information Desk has features to help a coach track and analyze game information.

1. An integrated statistics system is available to track both player and team game statistics.  Suitable for both high school and youth sport teams, this feature displays player and special team statistics, calculating average and cumulative totals on the fly.  A variety of statistic reports are included along with a a chart that dynamically displays statistics to better visualize performance trends.  A standard library of sport packages is included and you can create/modify a sport package to meet your own needs.
   
   
    
   For college level teams that already use an NCAA approved statistics package, this feature can easily be disabled.
    

2. A game notebook is provided in which you can enter game notes in up to six categories.  Review your prior game notes to help prepare for playing an opponent again.
