Coaches

“A good coach can change a game.

A great coach can change a life." 

– John Wooden

Welcome to the SportsLog website.

Please feel free to look around the site. Refer your players if you feel it is helpful. Give suggestions to us at questions@sportslogapp.com.

One suggestion is to have a Team Handbook (or “Playbook”):

  • On a team, there are frequently large gaps in knowledge.

  • Whether freshmen versus seniors, fifth graders with different knowledge, or first time players with veteran teammates.   

  • The only sport that seems to issue a playbook is football, but every sport could benefit from a playbook / handbook. 

  • A handbook gives everyone on the team:

    • The same knowledge base (catch up young/new players)

    • Same vocabulary

    • Same philosophy

  • Critical teaching points can be communicated more clearly in pictures and diagrams than by inconsistent and fragmented teaching of concepts to players that don't know the language and don't understand. 

  • At the very least, handouts can give you extra teaching time and get all the kids on the same page - plays, positions, skills 

SportsLog’s answer to the question:

What did my players do in the offseason?

A sports log (PDF format) report for a football players practice time with detailed stats including total hours, skills, games, practices, mental preparation, physical training details, and physical stats comparing December 2025 to September 2023.
A sample log of practice times for an athlete - this can be generated from the app.
