What are the characteristics in the player model?

DSA’s Labs player model consists of five characteristics including Communication, Decision Making, Execution, Fitness, and Psycho-Social.

[DEC]ISION MAKING is an athlete’s quality of choices or decisions in an athletic environment. 

[COM]MUNICATION is ability of a player to interchange information with their environment and establish relationships with teammates during competition.

[EXE]CUTION is the the quality of an athlete’s actions.  

[FIT]NESS is an athlete’s measured abilities to perform prescribed physical tasks.

PSYCHO-[SOC]IAL is the assessment of an athlete’s mental capabilities (including problem solving, reasoning, planning, and abstract thinking) and personality in the context of athletic performance.

What do my scores mean?

Your scores in each of the characteristics are based on your performance in comparison to your peers. They reflect what percentile you rank among your teammates.  

What is competitive fire?

A score that objectively measures a player’s competitiveness in both team oriented matches (2 v 2 to 11 v 11) and individual “1 v 1” competitions. 

What is a FlashStat?

A FlashStat is a digital player profile and sports resume. It includes an athlete managed profile with all of the information coaches need - biography, contact details, career history, highlight videos, academic information, upcoming events, and more. It features a StatLink score, highlights trends in player performance, reveals player strengths and weaknesses, and helps optimize performance both on and off the field. A FlashStat is comprised of data collected by coaches through StatLink. A FlashStat can also be used as a traditional player profile, without StatLink data, to send coaches information about themselves. Players can easily send their FlashStat to coaches, schools, and clubs, or they can share their profile directly to social media.  Players also have access to share their profile directly with our college coaching network with pre-made email templates.

Why does my FlashStat contain no data or submissions?

Is StatLink available as a stand-alone App? 

At present, StatLink is a web-based application only.

StatLink on Android/Chrome is not working properly, is there a fix?
