An athlete’s growth and maturation don’t happen in a vacuum. A sudden spike in height velocity could be linked to an uptick in injuries. A slower-than-expected growth curve might correlate with changes in workload or training emphasis.
The challenge? These connections are often hard to spot when Growth & Maturation data lives in a standalone report.
With the Self-Serve Reporting in iP: Intelligence Platform, Growth & Maturation metrics are directly in Analysis Dashboards—layering them alongside workload, injury history, player ratings, and more. The result is a complete, contextual view of each player’s development trajectory.
One Dashboard. All the Right Data.
In the Coaching & Development Solution, you can track and analyze a wide range of Growth & Maturation data points—providing a detailed picture of an athlete’s physical development across their career. This includes:
- Biological age
- Height & height velocity
- Weight & weight velocity
- % adult height attained
- Maturity offset & predicted age/date at peak height velocity
- Seated height & seated height/height ratio
- Estimated adult height (with confidence intervals)
- Maturity status (Khamis-Roche with the option to use Mirwald)
- Z-scores for % adult height
Using the Formula Feature, you can go even further—calculating growth percentage from one season to the next, tracking weight change from baseline, or comparing development rates over specific time frames.
By combining these metrics with other athlete data in iP, teams can uncover patterns and connections that drive smarter decisions across coaching, performance, and medical departments.
Turning Data Into Decisions
When Growth & Maturation metrics are viewed alongside workload, injury history, and performance trends in iP, patterns emerge that might otherwise go unnoticed. By integrating these metrics with other athlete data, staff can:
- Chart growth velocity against injury occurrence
- Apply custom conditional formatting to flag high-risk ranges (e.g. >8 cm/year)
- Spot developmental changes that may influence training loads, technical work, or injury prevention strategies
This approach ensures every department—from sports science to coaching to medical—works from the same, contextualized view of each player’s progression.
The Self-Serve Reporting Advantage
This use case is one of many ways Self-Serve Reporting in iP: Intelligence Platform drives better decisions. Like tracking Injury Surveillance or conducting Performance Analysis, Growth & Maturation reporting empowers departments to explore their own questions and collaborate better across the organization to enable data-informed decisions.
The result: faster answers, shared understanding, and more time spent on the work that drives performance and improves player development outcomes.
The Impact for Your Organization
With Growth & Maturation in the Coaching & Development Solution, insights are part of the bigger picture. You can:
- Reduce injury risk by flagging high growth velocity periods
- Support better development decisions with complete player profiles
- Enhance collaboration through shared, trusted data visualizations
- Drive long-term success with evidence-based retain/release and progression planning
