How Analytics Can Help Improve Collegiate Football Workouts
The offseason is a crucial time for college football players to improve their skills, strength, and conditioning. But how do you put together a training program that is as efficient as it is effective? Here’s a surefire way to start.
The key is to have a couple of good training blocks to build on. And one way to start is by using analytics to help establish max values and session goals. This way, you can plan and monitor your offseason workouts and build on them throughout the season.
Use Load and Speed Metrics to Get Your Players Ready to Perform on Game Day!
Planning Your Collegiate Football Workouts
The first step to developing a successful offseason workout is to have a clear plan. You need to know what your goals are, what your strengths and weaknesses are, and how you can improve them.
You will also need to balance your workload and recovery to avoid overtraining and injury, and this includes kickers. You can do it if you have access to a variety of data and insights on your performance and load, such as:
- Player max values: These are the peak values of various metrics, such as max speed, max acceleration, max jump, etc. They indicate your explosive power and potential. You can use them to set your baselines and track your improvements over time.
- Session goals: These are the targets you set for each training session based on your individual, group, or team objectives. They can be related to intensity, volume, duration, distance, etc. You can use them to plan your workouts and monitor your progress.
Player tracking technology allows you to customize your data and insights according to your sport, position, and level.
You can also compare your data with other players, teams, or leagues, to see how you stack up against the best.
Tracking Offseason Football Workouts
The second step to developing successful offseason workouts is to monitor your progress and analyze your results. You need to know if you are meeting your session goals, if you are improving your player max values, and if you are recovering properly.
Football analytics provide a powerful tool that you can use to help plan and monitor your offseason football workouts. By using analytics, you can:
- Set and track your player max values and session goals
- Access real-time and post-session feedback on your performance and load
- Analyze your data and insights with advanced analytics and AI-based algorithms
- Integrate your data with other sources for a holistic view of your performance and load
You can take your offseason football workouts to the next level, reduce injuries, and get an edge over your competition.
