Microsoft Sports Performance Platform combined a library of sports-specific APIs, Microsoft Surfaces, machine learning, and cloud computing into an all-encompassing digital experience. Being a part of the team to bring that and its goal of using biometric data to increase player readiness and performance on the field was a rare experience.
In defining a workout plan, the coach would select the exercises required from the workouts previously configured by the coach.
The coach would then be able to edit details about each workout, selecting the days and time of the workout.
Once created, workout plans could be quickly edited or scheduled from the primary view with abilities to filter or search for a specific plan.
True to the essence of team sports, one of the greatest parts of this project was the sense of active collaboration with my team members throughout the project. The ability to quickly bounce ideas off of each other, a sense of trust and rigorous critiques lead to an atmosphere of positive learning. The end benefit is a strong and well-tested product that understood the user's needs and goals.
The experience brought in all sorts of details specific to the team, players, upcoming games, in order to tailor the experience to the coach's mindset./
A persistent sidebar enabled coaches to maintain a clear view of all of the choices they had made during the creation or scheduling of a workout plan.
