When coaches use different ways to look at performance, they can discover new things that help improve training and performance.

Qualitative Tools:

• Focus on Feelings: These tools help coaches understand emotions, how the team works together, and how athletes act.
• Better Communication: They encourage good talks about how players are doing and how they can grow.

Quantitative Tools:

• Hard Numbers: These tools give clear data about speed, distance, or scores, making it easier to see progress.
• Finding Patterns: It’s simpler to spot trends and make smart choices based on the data.

Using both types of tools together provides a complete picture, mixing the facts with the feelings involved in sports performance.
