I have found BowlsIQ to be an outstanding tool in the modern development and assessment of players. The app provides a professional and evidence-based approach to performance analysis, allowing selectors, coaches and athletes to move beyond opinion and assess performances through meaningful data and measurable outcomes. The detailed statistical input, player profiling and export features are invaluable when monitoring progression, identifying consistency levels and reviewing performance under pressure. Having access to this level of information allows us to make more informed decisions while also giving players greater clarity around their own development.

What particularly stands out with BowlsIQ is how effectively it supports both performance debriefing and long-term player growth. The ability to analyse trends in areas such as draw consistency, conversion success and weighted shot execution creates a far more objective picture of performance across training and competition. From a selector’s perspective, these insights are incredibly important at elite level, where marginal gains and consistency often separate players. The app encourages accountability, self-awareness and continuous improvement, while providing athletes with clear evidence of progress over time. BowlsIQ is helping bring a more modern, professional and data-driven approach to lawn bowls, and I would highly recommend it to anyone involved in high-performance sport.

As an elite athlete, data, statistics and debriefs play a major role in my development and performance. BowlsIQ brings those elements together in a way that helps players analyse both the positive and negative areas of their game and make improvements consistently.

Stats are important because they provide factual information about performance rather than relying purely on opinion or emotion. In competition, BowlsIQ can highlight strengths and weaknesses across key areas of a player’s game, including conversion percentages, draw consistency, weighted shot success rates and performance under pressure.

BowlsIQ also helps measure progress over time by tracking performances across competitions, match sessions and training sessions. At elite level, where small improvements can make a significant difference, that evidence helps focus practice, improve decision making and support continuous learning.
