Optimizing daily workloads goes beyond keeping players fresh. For Xavier’s Gil Weinstein, Head Strength and Conditioning Coach, daily (and weekly) performance reports helped connect practice loads to game demands, guide workload adjustments, and support 99% player availability throughout the 2025 – 26 season. 

Managing in-season workloads takes more than tracking minutes. Performance data helps basketball coaches individualize weekly targets, adjust practice plans, and keep high-minute players, role players, and scout team athletes prepared to perform.

Connected Ball Technology is turning the football into a source of real time intelligence. By generating data directly from inside the ball, it creates new opportunities to understand, analyze, and experience the game while preserving the feel, flow, and unpredictability that make football unique.

Injuries, recovery, workload, communication, psychology, and coaching decisions constantly interact, shaping performance in unpredictable ways across a season. 

For basketball performance coaches, the season does not end with the final game. The weeks that follow are some of the most important of the year, not because of what happens on the floor, but because of what gets decided off it. Plans built on assumptions tend to miss the mark. Plans built on evidence from the season that just ended tend to hit.

At the Basketball Coaching and Performance Summit 2026, Jens Leutenecker, Analytics Coordinator at FC Bayern Basketball, showed how modern basketball is becoming faster, more demanding, and harder to control. More possessions, more shooting, and less practice time are forcing coaches to rethink preparation, tactics, and player management.
