Workshop Description

Date: Saturday, 5 September 2026

Time: 5 pm to 10 pm

Duration: 5 Hours

Overview:

The S-PAM Workshop focuses on performance analysis for coaches. It offers an interactive online learning experience for coaches, performance analysts, technical leaders, coach developers, learning facilitators, sport administrators, and practitioners across all sports. 

This workshop introduces participants to the Sports Performance Analysis Model (S-PAM), a practical framework that organizes performance analysis activities into logically defined, measurable projects. This model can be applied across various sports and provides coaches with a structured process for planning, analyzing, implementing, monitoring, and evaluating performance-improvement initiatives. 

Participants will acquire a comprehensive understanding of how performance analysis can extend beyond mere statistics and observations, evolving into a systematic decision-making process that effectively supports the development of athletes, teams, coaches, and organizations.
