Understanding how athletes develop over time is critical for long-term success. iP: Intelligence Platform’s Benchmark Testing capability allows leagues and organizations to collect, compare, and analyze player data across teams. Leagues can track progress against league-wide standards to ensure athletes meet key performance benchmarks, enhancing their development.

Empower Your Organization with the Full Potential of Benchmark Testing

Benchmark Testing enables organizations to build a more comprehensive dataset for evaluating player development. By aggregating information across clubs and age groups, teams can compare individual physical profiles with national, biological, chronological, and positional benchmarks. These insights help:

• Monitor athlete status and progress over time with centralized, high-quality data.
• Identify trends and patterns by comparing performance at the national and club level.
• Ensure consistency in player evaluation using standardized benchmarking data.

The Value

Standardized benchmark testing allows teams to track performance over time, ensuring athletes progress appropriately based on age, position, and competitive level. Establishing clear comparisons against national and positional benchmarks helps identify development milestones, highlight outliers, and guide individualized training plans. A centralized, data-driven approach improves decision-making and enhances long-term talent development strategies.

Seamless Data Collection and Reporting

With iP: Intelligence Platform, collecting and analyzing benchmarking data is streamlined. Users can:

• Easily upload and manage results by generating a CSV template for benchmarking tests.
• You can filter and analyze data dynamically by selecting attributes such as age group, testing window, maturation status, bio-band, and more.
• Compare players and squads against broader league-wide benchmarks to assess development gaps and potential.

The Value

Accurate and efficient data collection is essential for evaluating athlete development. iP: Intelligence Platform enables practitioners to systematically collect, input, and analyze benchmarking results across multiple levels, ensuring consistency and reliability in tracking progress. The ability to filter and compare data at the club, league, and national levels provides valuable context for assessing individual and squad performance while identifying areas for improvement.

The Impact of Benchmark Testing on Athlete Development

By leveraging league-wide benchmarking, teams can better understand athlete readiness and performance potential. This capability enables practitioners to:

• Ensure athletes are progressing toward key performance standards.
• Develop more informed training and development strategies.
• Make data-driven decisions to optimize player growth.

The Value

Comparing individual athletes and squads against league-wide benchmarks provides a broader perspective on player development. Standardized benchmarking helps ensure training interventions are guided by objective data rather than subjective assessments. By integrating national and club-level comparisons, teams can make informed decisions about workload management, injury prevention, and long-term athlete development, ensuring that athletes meet the physical demands required for success.
