ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Match performance indicator

A match performance indicator is like a report card for how well someone plays a game, like soccer or basketball. Just like how you get grades in school for how well you do on your homework and tests, athletes get grades for how well they perform on the field.

These indicators can measure a lot of different things, like how many goals someone scores or how many times they pass the ball to their teammates. They can also measure defensive skills, like how many times someone steals the ball from the other team.

In general, these indicators help coaches and fans understand how well a player is doing during a game, and can help identify areas where a player needs to improve. They can also be used to compare different players and see who is performing the best overall.
