- Ability to analyze data on your own time with AWS cloud storage
- Save valuable time with a user-friendly device
Having the capability to make informed decisions during practice is crucial for coaches to maximize the goals they are setting for their teams. Coaches, trainers and players can effortlessly track and analyze 50+ metrics live to monitor player performance throughout a session.
Our sports analysis software allows for comprehensive data collection across multiple fields simultaneously, ensuring that all players receive equal monitoring and evaluation— regardless of position.
Coaches are expected to maximize the performance of athletes during practice leading up to gameday. Access to real-time data to adjust a player’s load during training sessions significantly impacts player performance when the first whistle blows. These slight changes to a player’s load are the difference between peaking at the right time on gameday and feeling fatigued when their number is called for a big play when the game is on the line. The data can seamlessly guide player analysis that the naked eye can’t see.
With the rising expectations placed on sports performance practitioners, there is a growing desire among teams for their GPS-based athlete performance solutions to offer greater functionality. Teams want more information to make quick decisions and ensure the health and safety of their athletes.
