Hi, I’m Lori Swartz, a

Customer Success specialist at Catapult.

In today’s video, I’ll show you how to

update an athlete’s position history, filter widgets by

position, and visualize position specific reports.

So let’s dive in.

Changing an athlete’s position might be necessary for accurate

metrics in open fields, such as for goalies.

Or maybe you just need to

change someone’s position for whatever reason.

To do this, you would go to settings at the

top, make sure you’re under athletes on the left hand.

And then we would select edit for whichever

athletes we need to adjust this for.

I’m going to pick the first one.

Then we would hit edit history.

And here we see their

current position is defensive end.

If we wanted to edit this current position, we

would just hit edit on the far right.

And then we could change either their position or

specify a specific end date for this position.

But you could just keep it at current and I’m going

to change them to a defensive line hit edit entry.

Now, their position here was edited

and changed to a defensive line.

After you change anyone’s position history or position, you

want to make sure you do a full sync.

Solidify those changes.

If you want to add a new position, you

would hit under add entry the start date, say

today, and they’re going to go back to a

defensive end and I’m going to hit add entry.

So the defensive line ends August 5.

This new position starts today

and is their current position.

And again, make sure you do a full

sync after just to solidify those changes.

Next, let’s create a position report, um, and

kind of show some different ways that you

can visualize, um, positions as well as learn

the capability to filter for specific positions.

So let’s create a graph.

In this graph, I’m just going to show

the player load for each positions for this

practice and render this as a chart.

And I’m going to make my first row label positions.

Fun fact, if you right click in the selected

parameters and hit select all, then right click again

and then remove all selected, it gets rid of

everything all at once for you.

I’m going to hit done.

So now we have a graph of each

position average player load for this activity.

If I want to edit it, I would

go to the settings, go to options.

I want to show some data labels.

Maybe I want to make it a different direction.

I go to series, I can edit it further.

I’m going to change this color to blue.

Then you can also do a z

score, trend line or an average hit. Done.

So here’s a simple graph.

Next, let’s create a table.

So I’m going to create another widget and I’m

going to do a, let’s just say position averages.

And again, the row label is going to be positions.

And let’s create a table for player load.

All right, so here I just created so we

can get some averages for each position group from

this activity, for some random, for some metrics here

we can dive into this a little bit further.

If I go to the widget settings and go to

table options, I can do an average here where it’s

going to show an average at the bottom.

You can select these other options as well.

And if you wanted to, another way to view things.

If we did position and then made the second row label

athletes, what this is going to do is show each athlete

in each position group and then show them you.

The average of each athlete

needed all those position groups.

Just another way to visualize it.

Alright, let’s stay here.

All right, let’s create another graph.

I’m just going to copy this.

Let’s create a graph of individual player load

and player load for minute for each athlete.

I’m going to sort it by position name

and make this a little bit thicker.

And let’s add player load per minute.

Done.

Edit this a little bit more.

Go to options swap.

And I want to make player load

per minute orange and either align.

I’m going to go with a spline.

I like those a little bit more.

So here we have each athlete’s player load

and their player load permitted from this activity.

And it is sorted by position group, which is how

I’m able to have the positions pop up there.

If I were to sort by

their first name, that will disappear.

So if you wanted that view, you

would sort by their position name.

So let’s start to work on some filtered widgets.

I’m just going to create something to give

us a little bit of a break between.

So I’m just going to do a title box.

So this is a football team.

So let’s create some widgets filtered for offense.

So first I’m going to create a table.

I’m just going to copy this and let’s do.

So I’m just going to name

it with the positions in here.

Just so I don’t forget.

Receivers go back.

Alright, I’m going to make it a little bit bigger.

And eight by, I don’t know, six

and I’m going to go by positions.

And then athletes, I’m going

to keep the same parameters.

Now I’m going to go into the filters.

So here I’m going to hit the

drop down where it says activity.

And then I’m going to filter for position.

I find it equals the carrots facing away.

That’s exclude.

So I want to equal

wide receivers, quarterbacks, signals, offense.

Then after you select them, you want

to hit add, filter and then done.

So here now I have each position group, that’s

offense only and each player in those position groups.

Now you see it says one filter applied.

If I hit that I can hit edit.

And if I didn’t want quarterbacks in there,

I could exit out, update, filter, hit, done.

Now you see quarterbacks are gone, but

I’m going to put them back.

So let’s create a graph.

Gonna copy this.

So let’s do, let’s do total

player load for each player.

So I’m going to change this to athletes instead of.

I could have kept average but that’s okay.

Total player load filters.

I’m going to do position

equals receiver, add, filter, done.

I’m going to edit this a little bit further.

Go to options.

I’m going to swap them.

Then I’m also going to sort by position name.

And if I go to series I’m going to add a z score.

So now we have the offense

for each player that is offense.

And we have it sorted by position and

what their player level was for this day.

Let’s do one more of these.

Let’s do total explosive efforts.

So I just have to change the metric.

Nothing needs to change in the filters.

It done.

And if I go back to the widget settings

and series, I’m going to make this one orange.

And again you can add a z score.

I’m just going to put an average.

So we have that one there.

Let’s dive in a little bit more to

start messing with some other types of filters.

So let’s do their player load from

the last 14 days or two weeks.

I’m going to do the team average, I’m sorry,

the offense average from the last 14 days.

So I’m going to make this first row label activities.

You could also make it say date, but I’m just

going to put activities instead of total player load.

We’re going to need average player load.

I’m going to keep my offense filters, but

now I’m going to do last activities.

You could do last days equals 14, but

I’m going to do last activities equals 14.

Hit, add, filter.

Done.

And I forgot to increase the size and I’m

also going to make this a different color and

a green and I’ll do a z score.

So here we have the offense player

load from the last 14 days.

We can do something similar but show

the, let’s say an athlete’s accumulated player

load from the last four days.

So I’m sorry, let’s do last seven days.

So this time I’m going to do athletes.

I could keep.

I’ll show you this in a few different ways.

We can say average player load.

I’m going to edit the last activities,

say seven update, filter, hit, done.

Go to the widget settings series.

I lied.

Settings, basic activities, hit, done.

It’s going to look crazy and then I’m going to go

to options stacking and then I’m going to hide my legend.

So here we can see each player’s accumulated

player load and the activities that created that

player load from the last seven activities.

Another way you can view this for the athletes is

I can get rid of this activities in the second

row label have this say total player load, same thing.

Except now we just don’t know.

We just don’t see where the

volume is coming from specifically.

Let’s just do one more report.

Let’s do a weekly accumulation for offense.

So weekly accumulation I’m going to make this.

You could do week of the year or a week in season.

If your account is set up for a week in

season or has a season start date, I recommend that

I’m going to do a week of the year and

then I’m going to make the second row label activities.

We’re going to do something similar

to what we did above.

I’m going to do average player load and

instead of the last seven activities I’m going

to change this to the last 28.

Another option would be instead of doing last activities equals

28, you could hit this drop down, do a time

range and say starting from, let’s say pretend camp started

on the 29th and I can add an end date.

So filter for any activities within this time range.

Or I could leave the end date open

so that this would continue to update.

So I could say last activities starting from that

time and push the last 200 activities through.

That doesn’t matter.

It’s still only going to start from July 29 and

update with whatever activities I upload after July 29.

But now instead I’m just going

to do last activities equals 28.

So I’m just going to push

last 28 activities through this filter.

So yours might have came up with a legend and it

might show up unstacked so it might show up like this.

All you need to do is go back to

the options, stack them, and then remove the legend.

So now we see the weekly accumulation in player

load for the offense team from week to week.
