Sport performance development and analytics

Abstract

Disclosed are various embodiments for performance development and analytics. A performance development engine and an analytics engine are executed in a computing environment such that predefined scenarios are accessed from memory and presented to users via a client device. The user input and a temporal delay in receiving the user input on the client device are utilized in determining a metric for the user that may be accessible by an application programming interface (API).
