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.

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.
