Half Turn Decision Trainer

Interactive soccer training application that trains players to make faster, smarter decisions under pressure through the core loop of Scan → Recognise → Turn → Create. The experience combines real-time player tracking overlays (scan awareness, open body positioning, pass options, and turning into space) with a live analytics dashboard that surfaces Decision Accuracy, Average Time to Decide, Scan Frequency, and Successful Turns. Progress is visualized over multi-week cycles with reaction-time and success-rate trends, giving players and coaches clear, data-driven feedback on cognitive and technical improvement while on the ball.
