# 2. What should NWSL buyers ask about women-specific physical metrics?


**21 October · Supplier webinar publication.** SkillCorner published a webinar page describing how its women-specific physical thresholds combine with Game Intelligence data in scouting use cases. The underlying dedicated-metrics article was published on **11 June 2026**: October’s item is an application resource, not evidence that the product first launched that month. ([skillcorner.com](https://www.skillcorner.com/us/articles/womens-football-dedicated-data-smarter-decisions))

The June article illustrates why definitions matter: it contrasts a high-acceleration threshold above 3 m/s² with its women-specific threshold above 2.7 m/s², producing different counts for the example players. These are supplier-defined benchmarks and examples, not universal standards or proof of transfer success.

**Procurement implication:** Request a versioned metric dictionary and a re-run of your own shortlist. Ask which population informed the thresholds, whether historical seasons have been recalculated and how changed definitions affect rankings.

**Watch with a purpose:** Use the linked webinar to identify testable claims. The desk reviewed the accompanying publication; it did not independently reproduce the webinar’s analyses.
