Lære Introduction to Athlete Data in Coaching | Tracking Athlete Performance

Coaches rely on a wide range of athlete data to make informed decisions about training and team management. Key types of athlete data include speed (such as sprint times or average running pace), strength (like weight lifted or repetitions completed), endurance (distance run, time spent in continuous activity), and attendance (tracking presence at training sessions or matches). Each of these metrics provides valuable insight into an athlete's development, helps identify areas needing improvement, and supports the creation of tailored training plans. Consistently collecting and analyzing this information enables coaches to spot trends, reward progress, and ensure each athlete receives the right guidance to reach their potential.

athlete_performance = {
    "name": "Jordan Smith",
    "speed": 7.8,        # seconds for a 60m sprint
    "strength": 85,      # kilograms lifted in squat
    "endurance": 3.2,    # kilometers run in 12 minutes
    "attendance": 5      # training sessions attended this week
}

Using a dictionary structure in Python allows you to organize athlete data by assigning clear labels (called "keys") to each type of metric. This makes it easy to retrieve, update, and analyze specific pieces of information without confusion. By keeping all relevant data under a single variable, you ensure that performance records are both accessible and easy to manage, which is especially helpful when working with multiple athletes or tracking progress over time.

# Accessing data
print("Speed:", athlete_performance["speed"])
print("Attendance:", athlete_performance["attendance"])

# Updating values
athlete_performance["attendance"] += 1  # Athlete attended one more session
athlete_performance["speed"] = 7.6      # New personal best sprint time

print("Updated attendance:", athlete_performance["attendance"])
print("Updated speed:", athlete_performance["speed"])
