Customer description‍

A national athletic organization with dozens of top and promising athletes in disciplines such as sprint, throw, jump and distance.

Challenge‍

Coaches worked with separate spreadsheets, logs and measurement moments. Athletes lacked an overview of their performance and recovery and were unable to make independent adjustments between measurements.

Solution‍

A personalized dashboard was developed for each athlete in which data from wearables, nutrition apps, strength measurements and subjective feedback was combined in real time into insights into resilience and performance.

Approach

1. Inventory of available data
   Integration of GPS, lactate measurements, jump tests, nutrition logs and sleep apps, among others.
2. Data modeling and standardisation
   Development of an individual profile that records baseline and deviations per athlete.
3. Dashboarding in collaboration with coaches
   Athlete and coach interface with daily feedback, alerts and progress against seasonal goals.
4. User training
   Athletes received workshops on how to steer independently based on the dashboard.

Results

• Higher self-control among athletes
• Faster detection of fatigue and relapse
• Improved data quality and communication across disciplines

Learnings‍

Individual dashboards make data tangible and usable for athletes themselves. This increases ownership and performance, with coaches as supervisors based on data.
