FAQ

Use of SportMind

The diagnosis can be used by athletes from the age of seven. There is no upper age limit for the end-user.
SportMind is not usually used for this purpose but it can be used (specifically the Mental analysis module), with the assistance of a trained consultant who can analyse the outcome and evaluate a future connection between the child and a specific sport.
SportMind is primarily designed for team sports, but two SportMind modules (specifically Psychic energy and Mental analysis) are commonly used for individual sports (e.g. athletics, rowing, cycling and sport shooting).
Don't worry, the results are not always easy to interpret and one needs to be able to work with the results properly. Training and consultation are included in the annual license and are available for members of a coaching team. In urgent cases, fast help is always available by using the in-app “Help me” call button where a consultant is available on the other end.
It is both appropriate and recommended for all team members to carry out the diagnosis, even if they are substitutes. If the team member is injured and does not travel to the match, it is not necessary for him to complete the diagnosis.
The Mental analysis and Team analysis diagnosis is performed two times per year: firstly when a team is assembled before the season starts and secondly before a play-off or a big tournament. The Psychic Energy diagnosis can be performed on a daily or weekly basis, especially if the athlete has fluctuations in their performance. The Opponent diagnosis is performed on match days, a few hours before the match starts, enabling the coach team to respond and intervene within the team according to the results of the diagnosis.
It is wise to choose a person who will be able learn how to use the application and will be able to quickly read diagnosis results. Such a person should dedicate sufficient time and space for this kind of activity.
Yes, data on the server is highly secure and will not be lost or stolen. The athletes' diagnosis outcomes can also be found on a tablet.

Diagnostics

Distorted, Affected, Biased, Tendentious, High stylisation. We consider results affected (distorted, biased, tendentious, with high stylisation) if the variability of all selected color triads is in some way reduced by the scanned (tested) person. This means that the person uses only a few repeating triads and pairs of colors in the process of choosing. The person does not use the richness of different possible choices of colors as it corresponds to the usual variety of color options in the general population e.g. they confine themselves to the use of a few triad combinations while human consciousness is not so simple or "shallow". Sometimes, it is a conscious defense against scanning, which is known as the "Blind method". Other times, it can be an effort to comply with instructions of scanning and at the same time it can be an effort to have color selections under control. Motives can have different subtexts. Either it is their desire (wish) to stylize themselves in a certain way, or it is their need to be successful, accurate, or it can be the result of tendentious or demonstrative motives. The process of scanning can be impacted by these motives. We can see such an approach in some life situations; externally, they may comply but internally they do not identify with the scanning. People may want to have an impact on the scanning or have control over it. An influenced result is determined according to:
  • the number (calculated in percentages) of times one particular triad has been chosen;
  • the number (calculated in percentages) of times three particular triads have been chosen;
  • the percentage of used triads out of all possible choices;
  • the percentage of used pairs out of all possible choices.
This is assessed by a computer. The computer determines if the result is distorted or not and it also evaluates the degree of impact. We have a manual detailing individual criteria of the degree of the influence, should you wish to receive further information on this subject.
