The provision of such accurate information can be promising when the application used is valid and reliable. A chartered sports engineer developed a cost-effective Mobile phone application called StatWatch for the analysis of players’ performance both during training and competitions.

The intra-class correlation coefficient was used to ascertain the level of the agreement of the performance analysts based on the data recorded. The intra-class average measure reveals 0.98 which explains that 98% of the variance and the means of the analysts in their overall analysis is real p
