I have spreadsheets on every kid on the team, sprint times, jump numbers, load charts. This week a player asked me straight up if I even knew what was going on with her, and I realized I had been reading her numbers instead of her face. The data is easy. Actually sitting with each athlete and figuring out what they need is the part I keep dodging.
More people experience this than they realize.
You reach for the stats because truly reading each person is harder work.
If this sounds familiar, the Library can help you find the bigger picture.
