CASE STUDY · BADMINTON ANALYTICS
A WeChat mini program for competitive content and coaching: match discovery, round-level metrics, movement heatmaps, and personal collections—so teams stop watching entire tapes and start reading the match.

Malaysia Open · intensity-led pick

WHY IT WAS NEEDED
Tours, opens, and practice matches generate video every day. Coaching and content teams are not short of footage—they lack a structured entry to high-value matches, shared rally definitions, and a way to show where players actually covered the court.
Match intake
Without intensity scores, round tags, and score summaries, staff pick games by memory. Editors cannot run a stable post-match slate.
Review starts with hunting files instead of choosing a match worth the hour.
Rally language
Without whole-match and per-set panels, training plans cannot lock to one set of numbers, and athletes cannot see which rally type they lost.
Experience never becomes a session plan.
Court coverage
Broadcast follow-cams do not show distance, coverage, or density. Multi-shuttle drills stay habitual instead of matching the opponent’s pressure half.
If the track is invisible, practice repeats volume instead of the right patch of court.
Assets
Favorites, profile, phone binding, and the user agreement are missing, so membership and content operations have nowhere to land.
Without an account and collections, the product is a one-off player, not a library.
Match content serves training only when discovery, measurement, trajectory, and retention share one product path—not another video player.
HOW WE RETHINK IT
Replace “open the tape, talk from memory, screenshot the group” with “find a high-value match, read metrics by set, step through heatmaps, save to a personal library.”
WHAT WE BUILT
The product sells an operable review loop: find the match, read the numbers, see the movement, keep the asset—not a catalog of screens.
IF THIS SOUNDS FAMILIAR
You do not need a national team first. Any organization sitting on match video and wanting viewing to become reusable training or editorial assets can map itself here.
HOW IT WORKS
The journey is a business sequence: discover, search, read metrics, inspect heat, keep it under Me. Each step is evidenced by a real screen.






HOW IT IS BUILT
WeChat authorization and SMS keep identity usable. Match search supports operations. Metrics and trajectory split by match, set, and rally so radar charts and other sports can plug in later.
Architecture
The WeChat mini program is the primary surface. Identity handles authorization and phone numbers. Content carries lists, recommendations, and favorites. Analysis emits metrics and heat by match, set, and rally, with room for radar views and additional sports.

WHAT WAS DELIVERED
Delivery is a verifiable loop: sign in, find a match, read metrics, see heat, and return via favorites. Unauthorized performance figures are not claimed.
WHERE ELSE IT FITS
Net sports, video-heavy academies, and content teams that want viewing to become a product can reuse discover–measure–track–retain.
Opens and tours need the same search, set metrics, and placement heat.
Turn practice matches into reviewable metric sessions instead of raw links.
Recommendations and collections support member viewing nights.
Intensity tags and close-game picks stabilize post-match programming.
If a process splits into rallies and coverage, the same views travel.
Talk about your product
Turning large volumes of match video into sessions or a content slate? What to decide first is usually not which tab to build—it is how to surface the right matches, read metrics by set, compare movement, and save for return visits.
