Abstract

The objective of the present study was to determine the perception of the technical staff of a high level volleyball team about the viability, contextualization and utility of a technological tool, available in mobile devices, used to store and exchange information.The sample was formed by the technical staff of a female volleyball team that competes in a high level league, composed of a trainer and an assistant trainer with functions of physical trainer.The use of the technological tool by the team was carried out during a complete season (7 months).The technological tool consists of a web page and its application with direct access to information through mobile devices. Data collection was carried out from semi-structured interviews applied in the end of the season.Data analysis was performed through the Grounded Theory. Our results indicate that the technical staff considers this technological tool viable, contextualized and useful, allowing to organize structure and exchange information in a simple way. In addition, the results show that the possibility of access from mobile devices provides great advantages (permanent access to information and from anywhere) and some disadvantage such as the possible loss of human contact.
