Have a data model question.
Use case:
- In my app I have players for a club (with typical info, name, position, contact details etc).
- Players may or may not have a user account registered.
- Not only players can have an account i.e. Coaches, Management staff will have an account and enter players manually that don’t sign up.
Where should I be storing the player’s First Name / Last Name? Seems odd to capture it on the User and on the Player data type… Same question for email…
Appreciate any guidance / recommendation 
Why does capturing first and last name on the Player data type seems odd?
Well I just mean, it would be capturing it twice. Where a player and user are for the same person, the first and last name should be the same.
In trying to type a response though I think I answered my question… There can be users that don’t have an associated player profile, and players that don’t have a user account. Therefore the fields need to be on both data types, and UX should take care of ensuring consistency.

Even if the user is a real user you can still create a “Player” data type for them and just store their name only on the Player
