In the early 90s, Peter Drucker came up with the concept of KPIs, which gave organizations a better way to understand team progress on key club goals on a regular basis.
What are the benefits of having KPIs?
KPIs have several critical benefits for the club:
They define the current position of a team along with what is expected of them in the future.
They serve as a reference that you can use to compare past and present performance and draw appropriate conclusions for the future.
They define what is important in a team; So they help the technical staff to focus on achieving it.
They increase player engagement and encourage them to pursue the goal.
They hold players accountable for their work by showing them what constitutes good performance and what constitutes poor performance.
They help maximize the use of resources and eliminate inefficiencies.
Players and technical staff feel closer to the goals of the team and the club.
Why are KPIs important for achieving sports goals?
For a very long time, clubs considered only two components to manage and achieve sports goals:
Create a plan
Implementation of the plan
The technical staff and players focused on the final goal, looking to fulfill their duties, and finally, it was the end-of-season meetings that determined whether the teams were able to achieve their goals or not. The problem with this process was that the technical staff and players were working hard and the result was not the desired result of the leaders and managers, on the other hand, since the result was determined at the end of the season, there was no time for correction.
