The research in nowadays performance sport implies modern ways of training and analysis, more and more clubs are using software programs for statistical analysis in discovering their and opponents' strengths and weaknesses. Sports success measurement offers reliable information based on a variety of performance metrics. Given the complex nature of the sport, due to external impact conditions, known as situational variables such as the opponent's consistency, the time of play, the state of the match, etc., a thorough study of these measures is required, or internal characteristics, such as the role performed, the game's process, etc., which have to do with such markers. This investigation analyzes two libero players' efficiency at the reception parameter in Romania's national championship, for 10 months and 22 stages, in the season 2018-2019, at the team CSM Sibiu, Romania. The research method included the use of Click & Scout program to monitor the evolution of the two libero players at the efficiency parameter of reception and statistical tests to discover the data's statistical significance. The research results show improved reception efficiency during the national championship evolution with high performances in some stage presented in the results part and a statistically significant difference in the second part of the championship. The conclusions of the investigation highlight the idea that by using software programs and statistical interpretation of their results, coaches and the entire staff can improve the parameters of volleyball players knowing their players' strengths and weaknesses.
