Abstract

A system for assisting in player development is disclosed. The system includes a server maintaining a database including a plurality of player development records, each player development record including at least training data, competition data, and biographic data. The system also includes an application hosted by the server, the application including a user interface and an automated player performance application, the automated player performance application being configured to generate a player development profile for display in the user interface, the player development profile being based at least in part on performance trends in the player development record and also including one or more recommendations or comparisons.

Claims

1. A method for assisting in player development, the method comprising:

receiving input data from a first user at a server;

storing the input data associated with a player development record in a player development database, the player development database storing a plurality of player development records, each player development record aggregating player data over time and each player development record including at least training data, competition data, and biographic data;

receiving a request to generate a player development profile for a particular player based on the player development record; and

generating a player development profile by way of an automated player performance application, the player development profile being based at least in part on performance trends in the player development record and also including one or more recommendations or comparisons.

2. The method of claim 1, further comprising displaying the player development profile that is automatically generated by the automated player performance application.

3. The method of claim 1, wherein the recommendation or comparison is based at least in part on the identity of a user requesting the player development profile.

4. The method of claim 1, wherein the recommendation or comparison is based at least in part on past performance data.

5. A system for assisting in player development, the system comprising:

a server maintaining a database including a plurality of player development records, each player development record including at least training data, competition data, and biographic data; and

an application hosted by the server, the application including a user interface and an automated player performance application, the automated player performance application being configured to generate a player development profile for display in the user interface, the player development profile being based at least in part on performance trends in the player development record and also including one or more recommendations or comparisons.

6. The system of claim 5, wherein the user interface of the application is configured to receive identification and login information associated with a user account.

7. The system of claim 5, further comprising an output display signal including a command to display the player development profile that is automatically generated by the automated player performance application.

8. The system of claim 5, wherein the data included in the player development record includes one or more data categories, the data categories selected from the group consisting of education data, team data, competitor data, shopping data, entertainment data, competition schedule data, competition results data, expense data, travel data, training data, nutrition data, medical data, social media data, public media data, sponsorship data, licensing data, research and development data, multimedia data, employment data, hobby data, interest data, player ranking data, and philanthropic data.

9. The system of claim 5, wherein the recommendation or comparison includes a nutritional recommendation.

10. The system of claim 5, wherein the recommendation or comparison includes a training regimen recommendation.

11. The system of claim 5, wherein the recommendation or comparison includes a comparison of past performance of a player.

12. The system of claim 5, wherein the recommendation or comparison includes a past performance comparison between multiple players.

13. The system of claim 5, wherein the recommendation or comparison includes an equipment recommendation.

14. The system of claim 5, wherein the recommendation or comparison includes a travel plan recommendation.

15. The system of claim 14, wherein the travel plan recommendation is based at least in part on a travel budget, past expense data, and projected future expense data.

16. The system of claim 5, wherein the recommendation or comparison is based at least in part on past performance data.

17. The system of claim 5, wherein the recommendation or comparison is based at least in part on competitor data.

18. A method for assisting in player development, the method comprising:

registering a player with a web based player development service;

tracking player development records using the web based player development service, thereby forming an aggregate record at the web based player development service, each player development record including at least training data, competition data, and biographic data;

requesting a player development profile for a particular player from the web based player development service, the player development profile being based at least in part on performance trends in the player development record; and

viewing the player development profile that is generated by an automated player performance application of the web based player development service.

19. The method of claim 18, wherein the player development profile is automatically generated by the automated player performance application of the web based development service.

20. The method of claim 18, wherein the web based player development service is configured to receive identification and login information associated with a user account.

21. The method of claim 18, wherein the data included in the player development profile is based at least in part on the identity of a user requesting the player development profile.

22. The method of claim 21, wherein the user is a player and the player development profile includes a scholarship status overview.

23. The method of claim 21, wherein the user is a coach and the player development profile includes a skills training plan.

24. The method of claim 21, wherein the user is a player representative and the player development profile includes a sponsorship plan.

25. The method of claim 21, wherein the user is a trainer and the player development profile includes a conditioning plan.

26. The method of claim 21, wherein the user is a trainer and the player development profile includes a nutritional plan.

27. The method of claim 21, wherein the user is a trainer and the player development profile includes an academic plan
