Pre/Post Game History Dashboard: A Detailed Overview

The Pre/Post Game History Dashboard allows you to compare athlete data collected before, during, and after events such as games, matches, competitions, or other scheduled activities.

This dashboard is designed to help coaches and practitioners identify trends in athlete metrics relative to an event by displaying values on selected days before and after the event. It also compares those values against historical averages from previous events, making it easier to identify meaningful deviations from typical patterns.

Common use cases include monitoring wellness, readiness, soreness, sleep, recovery, workload, and other athlete management metrics surrounding competition.

Builder Screen and Options

1. Dashboard Name

Enter a unique name for your dashboard.

This name will appear when assigning the dashboard to Athlete layouts.

2. Event Field

Select the field that identifies the event you wish to analyze.

This is typically an event-type field that indicates when a game, match, competition, race, or other key event occurred.

Examples include:

• Game Day
• Competition Day
• Match Day
• Tournament Day
• Event Marker

The selected field serves as the reference point for all relative day calculations.

3. Previous Number of Events

Select how many previous events should be displayed.

Available values range from 1 to 10 events.

This setting determines how many recent events will be included in the dashboard.

Example

If:

• Previous Number of Events = 4
• Relative Days = -1, 0, +1

The dashboard will display 12 total data points:

• Event 1: Day -1, Day 0, Day +1
• Event 2: Day -1, Day 0, Day +1
• Event 3: Day -1, Day 0, Day +1
• Event 4: Day -1, Day 0, Day +1

4. Relative Days to Show

Define which days should be displayed relative to each event.

Relative days can be:

You may select as many relative days as needed.

Example

Selecting:

• -2
• -1
• 0
• +1
• +2

Would display athlete values from two days before the event through two days after the event.

5. Compare Since Date

Specify the earliest date that should be included when calculating historical comparisons.

The dashboard uses events occurring after this date when calculating baseline averages for each relative day.

This helps ensure comparisons are based on relevant historical data.

Example

If Compare Since Date is set to January 1, 2025:

Only events occurring after January 1, 2025 will be used when calculating historical averages and thresholds.

6. Fields to Display on Event and Relative Days

Select the fields you would like displayed and compared.

Examples include:

• Wellness Score
• Readiness Score
• Sleep Duration
• Sleep Quality
• Fatigue
• Muscle Soreness
• Mood
• Stress
• Recovery Score
• Body Weight
• Training Load

Each field may only be added once to the dashboard.

The dashboard will display values for each selected field across all relative days and events.

7. Thresholds

Thresholds determine how values are color-coded based on how far they deviate from historical averages.

Threshold values are ordered from lowest to highest and represent ranges of deviation from an athlete's typical value on that same relative day.

For example:

Custom colors can be assigned to each threshold range.

This allows coaches and practitioners to quickly identify meaningful changes in athlete responses surrounding competition.

Understanding Relative Days

Relative days are the foundation of the Pre/Post Game History Dashboard.

Instead of displaying data by calendar date, the dashboard organizes information around events.

For example:

This allows practitioners to evaluate how athletes typically respond before and after competition regardless of when the event occurred.

Example 1: Wellness Around Competition

Configuration:

• Event Field = Game Day
• Previous Events = 5
• Relative Days = -2, -1, 0, +1, +2
• Display Field = Wellness Score

Result:

The dashboard displays wellness scores from two days before through two days after each of the previous five games.

Historical comparisons help identify whether current values are unusually high or low compared to previous competitions.

Example 2: Sleep and Recovery Monitoring

Configuration:

• Event Field = Competition Day
• Previous Events = 6
• Relative Days = -1, 0, +1
• Display Fields:
  • Sleep Duration
  • Recovery Score

Result:

Practitioners can identify recurring recovery patterns before and after competition.
