PROBLEM
SPORT MEMBERS GET TROUBLE ON INFORMATION FLOW AND TEAM UPDATES
As being a sport team player me and many of my friends are not having proper information regarding our team updates, match schedules, player info, venue we are playng at, etc. This has lead to unprepared plans, unsuccessful management and missing updates. Because of this we have been loosing track of the team growth,seriousness and interests, selfsteem has been decreased gradually.
How might we allow our team member to access plannings/updates and have a growing team?
Solution
A PLATFORM THAT ALLOWS EACH MEMBERS TO HAVE ALL UPDATES OF THE TEAM IS THE KEY.
The Platform with key features.
>Connect all members in one platform.
>Club and Team Information.
>Upcoming events and scheduled plans.
Club updates is important.
When players get information about the club and its vision, motivation and self interest arises.
Pushing the team with extra activities.
Some sport related games and shopping features in the platform might help the team growth.
RESEARCH
INTO PROBLEM ANALYSIS

*Easy flow of information to all is important for understanding and achieving team goals.
After analysis of competitors and the features I got knowledge to create an app that's pretty easy to use and where there is good flow of information. In my view "Engagesports" was best among all as it is simple and let users to get what they need. As I got into more research I found the correct needs and requirement for the protoptype.

Design
Initial ideas,design direction and overall wireframes
After all research and interviews I started comparing the main insights that were collected. The components such as updates,events and planned information were standing out of the datas.
I brought the major themes
for the product and started drawing the ideas into wireframes.
Initially as the app being personnal and team driven, their data were collected through the login forms. This could help the syncing of players into teams.

NOTIFICATOINS
Things I would do differently next time
1. Keeping the foundations as best as possible. When the foundation is good all are built best.
2. Ask for more feedbacks. I would ask for suggestion and ideas in my confusion state.
3. Failing is another approach of getting better. Keep on trying to get the best results. Exlpore more creative solution as much as possible.
4. Explore more products and reach out to more ux projects
