The score is evaluated by measuring player's distance covered with the ball, highest dribbling speed, and the number of turns while dribbling the ball. With clubs able to see how much distance players cover in a game, what speeds they reach and how often they break into a sprint over the 90 minutes, they simply can’t get away with taking it easy. That figure might be dropping because the ball is out of play a lot,” Matthew King, a sport scientist at the Premier League club, explained to The Athletic. Analyse your heatmaps, distance covered, sprints, maximum speeds and much more to find out where your strengths lie and where you need to improve.

Like many of the other products, Playermaker seems to have a focus on the youth soccer player market and semi-pro players who want to take their game to the next level. When it all first started, there were 2 main companies/brands that developed and sold athlete tracking systems (using IMUs and GPS) – Catapult Sports and GPSports (GPSports was later acquired by Catapult). This helps players stay out on the pitch longer and ensures they are available for games, which in turn contributes to their overall development within our Academy. g. sensor metrics, or tracking of one leg vs both legs), there are three features that I thought really stand out.

For the elite players and teams, Playermaker provides a lot more tools on top of the coach dashboard including the ability for deeper analysis and video integration, further development of players, managing team performance and avoiding injuries. By placing the Playermaker trackers on the feet, it can collect additional performance data – the technical ability of a player. The Northern Ireland-based company, founded in 2007, have become a pioneering influence in the sports science industry, and their player tracking and analysis equipment is used by 14 Premier League clubs, a host of international teams and European giants such as Barcelona and Juventus. Comfortable Placement: Some players (ladies, looking at you) may find the placement of GPS vests uncomfortable.They have developed a user platform (app) for players and there is also one for coaches to manage their players/team and teams can purchase a team version. I was wondering if anyone on this sub has used this (statsports, catapult, etc) and what they thought.
