## Why look at the best stages

The best stages reveal an efficient overall of rhythm, precision and decision making. This standard serves as a reference for training and match strategy.

## How to apply in training

Use the data to break down what worked: lane entry, movement plan, risk management, and shot execution.

## Integration with other analytics

Combine this vision with a radar graph, athlete comparison and time vs points correlation to complete a more complete technical plan.
