What consistency tells you that a personal best doesn’t
Every parent has watched their child do something brilliant once and spent the rest of the season waiting for it to happen again. There is a measure for that.

Most parents have watched their child do something brilliant exactly once. A run nobody saw coming, a touch that made the sideline turn round. And then a whole season of waiting for it again.
There is a measure for that, and we put it in every report. dVr compares a current or average performance against that athlete’s own best recorded performance. It is a gap, not a ranking. It does not compare your child with anybody else’s.
A small, stable gap means a repeatable athlete, one whose Sunday looks like their Tuesday. A gap that grows can mean fatigue, poor recovery, technique breaking down under load, or simply that we tested on a bad day and should say so.
This is why we record every repetition rather than only the best one. The best attempt shows what an athlete can do on a good day. The full set shows what they can be relied on to do, which is what a development plan has to be built on.
The rest of this piece is still being written.
The opening above is final copy. The remainder is with the writer and will be published here when it is finished. Nothing has been generated to fill the gap.
If there is something you want explained properly in the meantime, tell us and we will write that one first.
