INSAIT JOY Player Ratings Explained: The Blueprint for Your Football Career Score

The journey in football is often about progress, consistency, and motivation. While tracking raw data like distance and top speed is vital, translating that data into clear, actionable goals—especially for young athletes—can be a challenge.

The solution is here: INSAIT JOY Player Ratings—gamified performance scores that transform your stats into clear, actionable insights. Think of it as your personalized, virtual football card. This dynamic system objectively identifies your strengths and weaknesses, empowering you to elevate your scores through skill development and dedicated training. Now, let’s dive into how this feature works and the immense value it brings to your training ecosystem.

 

I. What Are Player Ratings? Your Dynamic Performance Card

INSAIT JOY Smart Shin Guards provide the foundational data for this powerful feature. INSAIT JOY Player Ratings offer a comprehensive and objective reflection of your average performance over time, providing a dynamic view of your abilities across five crucial football metrics: Speed, Acceleration, Power, Balance, and Stamina.

These five foundational metrics combine to calculate your overall Player Score. This sophisticated system shifts the focus from tracking isolated personal bests (PBs) to an average performance model. This design gives you a clearer, more realistic understanding of your progress and consistency, allowing you to easily identify areas for continuous growth or address any temporary dips in performance.

 

II. The Value Proposition: Why Your Player Score Matters

The Player Ratings feature is much more than a number—it’s a powerful tool designed to enhance motivation and provide objective feedback for both players and parents, fueled by the precision data from INSAIT JOY Smart Shin Guards:

⭐ Objective Performance Reflection

III. Personalize Your Identity: Make Your Card Unique

Part of the fun of the Player Ratings is customizing your virtual card to represent your unique identity on the pitch:

• Personalize Your Identity: Tailor your Player Ratings display with your jersey number, on-field position, and even your team's name (if you've joined a team within the INSAIT JOY app).
• Choose Your Avatar: Select a unique personal avatar that represents you on the Leaderboards and within your Player Profile.

IV. Unlocking Your Player Ratings: The Mechanics Explained

Understanding how your Player Ratings, derived from INSAIT JOY Smart Shin Guards data, are calculated helps you strategize your training to optimize your score.

1. Getting Your Initial Player Ratings

• New Users: If you're new to INSAIT JOY, you'll unlock your initial Player Ratings after completing 10 recorded sessions with your Smart Shin Guards.
• Existing Users: If you're an existing user with 10 or more recorded sessions completed before the Version 5.1.0 update, your past data will be automatically utilized to calculate your current Player Ratings upon updating the app.

2. How Initial Player Ratings Are Calculated

• Individual Metrics (Speed, Acceleration, Power, Balance, and Stamina): Each of these five core metrics is calculated as the average score from each of your first 10 sessions. This provides a robust and fair baseline that accurately reflects your initial performance level.
• Overall Player Score: Your final Player Score is then calculated based on a specific weighted ratio derived from your average scores in these five foundational metrics, reflecting your all-around performance.

3. How Player Ratings Evolve: Update Rules

Your Player Ratings are dynamic, designed to reflect your continuous development on the pitch:

• Regular Refresh Cycle: Your Player Ratings will automatically refresh every 5 sessions you complete after your initial unlock. This ensures your rating remains current and responsive to your recent performance.
• Individual Metrics: For Speed, Acceleration, Power, Balance, and Stamina, the updated score is calculated as an average of your corresponding score from your most recent Player Ratings (the previous calculation) and the scores from your latest 5 sessions. This method smooths out sudden fluctuations and rewards consistent performance over time.
• Player Score: Your overall Player Score is then recalculated based on the newly updated scores of your five individual metrics, maintaining the same specific weighted ratio.

 

V. The Player Ratings Leaderboard: Compete & Connect

The Player Ratings are proudly displayed on our all-new Leaderboard, fostering healthy competition and community within the INSAIT JOY ecosystem:

• Daily Refresh: The Leaderboard refreshes daily at 00:00 GMT, ensuring you always see the most up-to-date rankings.
• Ranking Criteria: Users are primarily ranked by their current Player Score. In cases where multiple users have the exact same Player Score, their ranking is then determined by their total EXP (Experience Points), rewarding consistent engagement and activity.

VI. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) About Player Ratings

We understand you may have questions about these new features. Here are some common queries:

1. I don't want to display my Player Ratings or Player Profile publicly.

We highly value user privacy and control. You have complete authority over your visibility settings. In the app's Settings, you can choose to turn off "Appear in Leaderboards" or "Make Profile Public."

• If "Appear in Leaderboards" is off, other users will not see you on any leaderboard. 
• If "Make Profile Public" is off, they will not see any of your private profile content (including your birthdate, height, weight, all your detailed session data and analysis, and your Player Ratings). However, for leaderboard integrity, your public username, avatar, level, and total EXP points will remain visible if you choose to appear on the leaderboard.

2. How does deleting records affect my Player Ratings?

The impact of deleting records depends on the context of your Player Ratings journey:

• Before unlocking initial Player Ratings (under 10 sessions): If deleting a record means you now have, for example, only 8 completed sessions left, you will need to complete 2 more sessions to unlock your initial Player Ratings.
• Before a Player Ratings refresh (within the most recent 5 sessions): Similarly, if you delete one of your most recent 5 sessions that contribute to an upcoming refresh, you will need to complete one more session to trigger the next Player Ratings refresh.
• After unlocking initial Player Ratings (deleting records older than the first 10 or not within the most recent 5 for a refresh): Deleting these older records will not immediately affect your current Player Ratings. However, during the next Player Ratings refresh, the calculation will be based on the average scores from the remaining relevant sessions and the new 5 sessions, which might then subtly impact your updated Player Ratings score.
