Development of an Integrated Sports Analytics and Progress Tracking Platform for Water Polo and Similar Sports

The client faces challenges due to a lack of objective measurements on athlete development and game progress. Existing tools insufficiently support recording, sharing, and analyzing game data for coaches, athletes, and fans. Additionally, integrating video highlights with real-time statistics during concurrent matches presents significant technical hurdles.
