FEATURE DESCRIPTION

 

Designing Technical Practice Sessions

The transition from a scheduled event to a specific training plan begins within the Technical Plan tab of the event card. This section serves as your workspace for organizing the flow of a session.

  • Importing Library Content: By selecting the Import function, you can access your entire drill library. Use the sidebar filters to locate specific exercises and use the checkboxes to select one or multiple drills for your session.

  • Previewing: Before finalizing an import, the Preview Icon allows you to review the full details of a drill to ensure it meets the session's objectives.

  • Selecting: To import the drill click on the checkbox and click on import.

  • Refining Drill Parameters: For each imported exercise, you can define specific operational parameters such as the number of sets, repetitions, rest periods, and the total duration.

  • Saving Workflows: If the current sequence of drills is one you intend to reuse, you can save the entire selection as a Training Plan for future sessions.

  • Visibility Controls: Using the Share button, you can determine which staff members or players can view the plan. Note that a drill or plan will only appear on an athlete's mobile app if they have been specifically granted access through this sharing list.

 

Managing and Sharing Training Plans

Training Plans allow you to group multiple drills into a single template, streamlining the preparation for future sessions.

  • Importing Existing Plans: Navigate to the Training Plan section within the import menu to view previously saved sequences. You can review the drills included in each plan before importing them into your active session.

  • Editing and Customizing: The Edit function allows you to modify the internal structure of a plan—rearranging drills, adjusting physical parameters, or adding new exercises from the library.

  • Categorization with Tags: To maintain an organized database, you can assign tags to your plans. These tags act as filters, allowing you to categorize plans by intensity, tactical focus, or phase of the season.

  • Visibility Controls: Using the Share button, you can determine which staff members can view the plan

Strength & Conditioning (S&C) Configuration

The S&C module follows a specialized logic designed for high-precision physical programming.

  • Global Measurement Settings: Before planning S&C sessions, ensure your unit of measurement is correctly configured. Navigate to Settings > Teams > General to toggle between Metric (kg/cm) and Imperial (lbs/ft) systems.

  • Participant Prerequisites: Athletes must be added to the event as participants before they appear in the S&C Plan section. This ensures that individual loads are tracked against the correct profiles.

  • Individualized Programming: Within the S&C Plan tab, clicking on the Plus (+) icon you are able to add exercises, individual sessions or entire training plans for each player. 

  • Exercise specifics: For each entry, you can define precise metrics such as % of 1RM (One-Rep Max), Time Under Tension (TUT), and specific rest intervals.

  • Bulk Application: To save time when programming for groups, click the plus icon, click on Apply to Players to copy an exercise and all its associated parameters from one athlete to multiple selected teammates simultaneously.

 

Long-Term S&C Programming

For comprehensive physical development, the system supports long-term programming that spans multiple weeks.

  • Training plan: You can build a complete training plan and program it across various sessions within a single week or across multiple weeks.

  • Duplicating Workloads: When moving to a new week of training, the Duplicate Week function allows you to use the previous week’s workload as a baseline, which you can then adjust for progressive overload.

  • Direct Profile Integration: Once assigned and shared, these plans appear directly on the athlete’s profile under Players > My Team > Player Card > Training Plan, providing them with a clear roadmap of their physical requirements.

  • Individual session: For non-recurring sessions, the Individual Session tool allows you to create and tag a single workout for specific players without building a full-scale plan.

 

Recording "Actual" Training and Real-Time Tracking

To maintain data integrity, the system distinguishes between what was planned and what was actually performed.

  • The "Actual" Section: Once a technical session is finished, you can move planned drills into the Actual section by clicking Edit and selecting the Copy to Actual icon. This allows you to adjust the final duration of each drill to reflect the real time spent on the pitch.

    Comparison and Analytics: This step is vital for accurate reporting, as it allows the Drill Stats section to compare the intended coaching focus against the actual execution.

     

  • Real-Time Player Feedback: In S&C sessions, players can use their mobile app to track progress as it happens. They can mark exercises as complete, adjust repetitions based on their performance, and leave notes for the coaching staff.

    Staff Monitoring: Coaches can view this real-time data directly on the event card, allowing them to monitor compliance and adjust future programming based on the athlete's feedback and performance.
