Does your project have involved scouts, which determine the potential of the young sportsmen. And what will happen if the forecast scouts will not come true in the future, the sportsmen will not succeed?
With the help of ACE tutorials, the Scouts will:
• Crunch data (local kids’ and juniors’ rankings, and local tournament results) and determine potential ‘targets’
• Reach out to players, parents, coaches, and tennis club owners in local social networks
• Submit applications via the ACE website to our full-time scouts
• Hold assessment sessions at players’ locations (no need for expensive 2-week travel to a global HQ, like IMG does)
• Use the most modern connected equipment during assessments, for example, the Babolat smart racquet which gathers a variety of data during the game (serve speed, shots hit map, rally time, etc.)
• Use a unique internal players’ assessment checklist (50+ parameters ranging from the strictly technical side to the players’ psychotype or their parents’ involvement). This will allow for development of a standardized
process and legitimate player comparisons
• Submit players’ assessment reports to the ACE community for their professional assessment through DCV mechanism (see Section 6.1 of WP)
We modeled expected players’ income over the course of the career for four types of players: superstar (top-5 player), top-50 player, top-200 player and an unsuccessful player who had to stop their career early.
And then we looked at pessimistic, realistic, and optimistic cohorts’ compositions for 30 junior players and 10-20 professional players.
