I'm delighted to share our new article in the Strength and Conditioning Journal:

In this article, we proposed an on-going process tracker (OPT) framework to complement the use of KPIs in sports organisation. We discussed what the characteristics of effective process trackers are and how to select and use them.

Key Points:

• KPIs can be problematic given the complex and nonlinear nature of team sports performance.

• A basket of trackers allows different key stakeholders to engage and align to support the behaviours that can lead to long-term goals of an organization.

• Focus on the processes and behaviours that constitute the pathway to performance success.

• Develop antigoals to prevent the Goodhart’s law.
