MATCH JOURNAL

What is a Match Journal?

A match journal helps you prepare for every session and reflect on what happened. Instead of playing on autopilot, you track what you planned, what worked, and what to improve — building a personal playbook over time.

Pre-match game plan

Set strategies and focus areas before you play so you step on court with a clear plan.

Post-match reflection

Rate how your strategies worked and log what you learned while the match is still fresh.

Shot pattern tracking

Select specific shots to focus on, then rate how they went after your session.

Match linking

Connect journal entries to ladder or tournament matches for full context on every session.

Opponent & partner tracking

Link opponents and doubles partners from the player database to every entry.

Session types

Track matches, practice, drills, coaching, and training sessions — not just competitive play.

How your journal works,
in three steps

01

Before you play

Open a new journal entry, pick your session type, and set your strategies and focus areas from the shot library. Step on court with a plan.

02

After you play

Come back and complete your session: rate how your strategies worked, log reflections, and score your shot patterns while the match is fresh.

03

Track your growth

Your insights dashboard shows trends over time — which strategies work, where you're improving, and personalized recommendations for what to focus on next.

INSIGHTS

Insights that help you improve

Your journal entries aren't just notes — they become data. The insights dashboard aggregates your strategies, shot ratings, and focus areas into trends you can act on. See what's working, what's not, and what to focus on next.
