Performance data sitting in separate silos -- GPS data in one system, gym load in a spreadsheet, video tags in a different tool -- with no unified athlete profile that shows the full training picture?
Physical testing results entered manually after each testing session because the testing software cannot export in a format the coaching platform understands?
Athlete Performance Tracking Software Development
RaftLabs builds custom athlete performance tracking platforms -- GPS and wearable data ingestion, training load monitoring, video analysis integration, physical testing and benchmarking, and performance dashboards for coaches and sports scientists.
Built for professional clubs, national squads, and sports science teams who need one unified athlete profile instead of data spread across four separate systems.
GPS and wearable data ingestion from Catapult, STATSports, Polar, and Garmin
Training load monitoring with acute-to-chronic workload ratio reporting
Physical testing and benchmark tracking across the squad
Video analysis integration and tagging linked to athlete profiles
RaftLabs builds custom athlete performance tracking platforms for professional clubs, national squads, sports science teams, and sports technology companies. We build GPS and wearable data ingestion from Catapult, STATSports, Polar, and Garmin, training load monitoring with acute-to-chronic workload ratio reporting, physical testing and benchmarking, video analysis integration, and performance dashboards for coaches and sports scientists. Most performance tracking platforms deliver in 10--14 weeks at a fixed cost.

One athlete profile for every data source your performance staff uses
Performance staff at most professional clubs work across multiple systems. GPS data lives in the Catapult or STATSports platform. Gym load is in a spreadsheet. Video clips are tagged in Hudl or Veo. Physical testing results are in a testing app or another spreadsheet. An athlete's full training picture requires logging into four systems and reconciling data manually -- assuming the data is even in compatible formats.
A unified performance tracking platform pulls all of these data sources into a single athlete profile. Performance coaches see GPS metrics, training load, physical test benchmarks, and video tags in one place, updated automatically. They spend their time analysing data and coaching athletes, not copying numbers between systems.
What we build
GPS and wearable data ingestion
Data ingestion pipelines for GPS and wearable devices from Catapult, STATSports, Polar, and Garmin. Automatic session import from device platforms via API or file export. Time-series storage of raw metrics -- total distance, high-speed running, sprint count, acceleration and deceleration events, and heart rate data where available. Session-level and drill-level data breakdown. Support for multiple device types within a single squad where different cohorts use different hardware.
Training load and workload monitoring
Session load calculation from GPS and RPE (rate of perceived exertion) data. Acute and chronic workload tracking with acute-to-chronic workload ratio (ACWR) calculation for each athlete. Monotony and strain metrics for identifying risky training patterns. Weekly and monthly load summaries at squad level and individual level. Threshold alerts when an athlete's ACWR moves outside safe parameters. The workload monitoring that helps performance staff reduce soft tissue injury risk without under-loading athletes ahead of competition.
Physical testing and benchmarking
Testing record management for standard physical assessments -- sprint times, vertical jump, broad jump, strength testing, VO2 max, and sport-specific benchmarks. Baseline and retest tracking per athlete. Comparison against squad benchmarks and position-group norms. Return-to-play testing milestones linked to the injury tracking workflow. Test schedule management so performance staff know which athletes are due for reassessment. The benchmarking layer that turns testing sessions into structured data rather than numbers on a clipboard.
Video analysis integration
Integration with video analysis platforms -- Hudl, Veo, and Coach Logic. Video clip links and tags attached to individual athlete profiles. Tagging of physical performance events in match video -- high-intensity runs, duels, sprints -- linked to GPS data from the same session. Coach annotations and feedback notes linked to specific video clips. Squad-level video playlists for tactical review sessions. The connection between what the data shows and what the video confirms, in one place.
Athlete performance dashboard
Individual athlete dashboard showing current training load, ACWR, physical test history, injury status, and recent session data. Timeline view of an athlete's season -- load peaks, injury periods, testing results, and competition schedule. Side-by-side comparison of two athletes for selection decisions. Exportable athlete reports for performance reviews, loan arrangements, and medical handovers. The single screen that gives a performance coach the full picture of an athlete in 30 seconds.
Squad comparison and reporting
Squad-level views of training load distribution, readiness scores, and physical benchmarks. Heatmaps showing which athletes are high-load, medium-load, and low-load in a given week. Position-group benchmarking to identify outliers -- athletes carrying significantly more or less load than their positional peers. Weekly readiness reports for coaching staff showing who is prepared for high-intensity training. Season summary reports for performance directors and medical staff reviewing the training year.
Frequently asked questions
We integrate with Catapult (Openfield API), STATSports (Apex API), Polar (Team Pro API), and Garmin (Connect API). For devices without a documented API, we build file-based ingestion pipelines that process exported CSV or JSON files automatically. Most professional-grade devices export data in standard formats. We assess your existing hardware during discovery and design the ingestion pipeline around what your squad uses. If you use a device not listed here, share the model and we will confirm whether integration is feasible before scoping starts.
Acute-to-chronic workload ratio (ACWR) compares the load an athlete has done in the most recent week (acute load) against the average weekly load over the previous four weeks (chronic load). A ratio above 1.5 indicates the athlete is doing significantly more work than their body is conditioned to handle -- a period associated with increased soft tissue injury risk. A ratio below 0.8 indicates under-loading, which can lead to deconditioning. Tracking ACWR lets performance staff identify athletes approaching dangerous load spikes before they get injured, and adjust training accordingly. The calculation is straightforward but requires accurate daily load data -- which is why the GPS ingestion pipeline matters.
Yes. Hudl has an API that allows video clip retrieval and tag data export. Veo provides API access for clubs on their pro plans. Coach Logic integrates via data export. The integration links video clips and tagging data to athlete profiles in the performance platform, so a coach can see that an athlete's GPS data showed low high-speed running in a match and jump directly to the video clips from that session to understand why. Full video hosting and editing is not part of the performance tracking platform -- we link to the video analysis tool rather than replacing it.
A full platform -- GPS and wearable ingestion, training load monitoring with ACWR, physical testing records, video integration, and athlete and squad dashboards -- typically runs $30,000--$80,000 depending on the number of data sources, squad size, and reporting depth. A focused build covering training load monitoring and physical testing only runs $15,000--$40,000. We scope the project before pricing it so you know exactly what you are getting before development starts. Fixed cost only -- no hourly billing.
