With the start of spring, proSports.Zone received a major update. The primary focus was on a complete overhaul of event management. Since almost all features of our tool are linked to events, it made sense to review, refine, and improve various aspects of the platform.

The New Event Management

Alongside athlete and team management, event management is one of the core features of proSports.Zone.

For the new version, we aimed to make event management simpler, faster, and more intuitive. All existing workflows were reviewed and optimized, resulting in a new event management module that is both powerful and user-friendly.

Creating Events

You can now create events not only from the team page but also directly from the dashboard or the event overview.

Switching between different event types—such as training sessions, matches, trips, or performance tests—is now much faster and more seamless.

A brand-new feature is event location storage, which offers four key benefits:

• No need to re-enter addresses repeatedly; previously used locations are suggested automatically.
• Always correct address entries, as Google Maps validates all location data.
• If you don’t know the exact address, simply enter the stadium name, city, or postal code, and Google Maps will suggest the correct location.
• Your team can navigate directly to the event location using Google Maps integration.

Selecting event participants is also now easier. Choose all team members or manually select specific coaches, staff, and players.

New Training Load Management

For optimal training load management, you can now specify the intensity level for each event. This can be fine-tuned on a 0% (no load) to 100% (extreme load) scale to track and balance training effort.

For matches (available for football, volleyball, or handball accounts), you can directly record opponent details.

Bonus: Opponent teams are now stored separately. If your opponent is already in the database, the system will suggest the team automatically, saving you time and effort! You can also access opponent-based statistics and historical data.

Additional opponent details—such as age category, gender, and home/away status—can now be recorded.

Creating Sub-Events

Sub-events have been overhauled and now appear under a dedicated “Events” tab for better organization. The creation process has been aligned with the main event workflow for a more intuitive experience.

New Event Overview

The event overview page has been standardized and completely redesigned.

• Upcoming events are displayed more clearly.
• Small icons for different event types provide a quick overview.
• The participant count is displayed immediately, helping you track attendance.
• Events are paginated, displaying 10 per page for better readability.

The New Event Page

The event detail view has been completely redesigned with a cleaner, more structured layout.

A brand-new Event Dashboard now presents all key information at the top for quick access.

Tabs allow you to manage different event aspects:

• Plan your team
• Upload training plans
• Prepare for matches, including opponent scouting and analysis
• Develop game strategies
• Upload and store event videos in the video database

This is just a small glimpse of the new features now available—check them out and share your feedback!

Brand New and Fully Flexible: The New Rating System

Ratings have always been an integral part of proSports.Zone, as they are closely tied to event management. Based on your feedback, we have completely redesigned the rating system to be fully customizable and flexible.

Previously, rating criteria were fixed and predefined. Now, you can define as many criteria as you like!

• Use any grading system: traditional 1-6 scale, -10 to +10, 0-100, or any custom range.
• Mix and match different rating types.
• Assign criteria to specific event types—for example, use “Motivation” and “Effort” for training and matches, while “Tactical Execution” applies only to matches.

Quick and Easy Recording of Performance Test Results

Every competition ends with results! Our new performance tracking feature makes it fast and easy to log detailed results, particularly for individual sports like skiing, athletics, and swimming.

• Log key results for all athletes quickly and efficiently.
• Automatically analyze the best performance, highest score, and best ranking.

Team Creation and Management

The team module has also received its first major update!

• Creating teams is now smoother and more intuitive.
• Define the team name, coaching staff, and players in one step.
• If your account has multiple players, you can now filter by birth year to quickly select the right team members.
• The new team overview page provides a clear summary of all essential information.

User Archiving

One of your most requested features is here! You can now archive inactive users.

• Archived users no longer appear in teams or events.
• They remain in your account but are not active participants.

Training Database: Search, Filter, and Preview

With the training database, planning workouts is now faster and more efficient:

• A large pool of exercises is available, and you can add your own custom exercises.
• A new quick search feature makes it easier to find the right drills.
• Better filters provide faster access to relevant exercises.
• A preview mode allows you to check an exercise without leaving the search page.

Anything Else?

Of course, we also fixed several bugs and improved overall stability in this update.

What’s Next?

A lot! Currently, we are finalizing a brand-new video analysis tool that will go live in April. This feature will provide top-tier video analysis directly in your browser—without expensive software.

Additionally, the mobile app will receive a major update in April, particularly improving the coaching section with many new mobile features.

New statistics, tagging options, and a social feature are also on the way—turning proSports.Zone into a full-fledged social media platform for coaches, boosting performance and networking opportunities in the sports industry!

2021 is bringing a lot of exciting updates! Stay tuned and never miss out on news and updates!
