Avro Football Club is thrilled to announce that it has agreed a partnership with STATSports, the world’s leading player tracking and analysis provider in team sports.
STATSports are the world’s leading provider of athlete tracking GPS technology, and already partner with over 600 elite sports teams across the globe. They have developed the most advanced software for athlete performance monitoring, SONRA 4.0, to analyse and optimise the athletic output of the world’s top sports stars.
Charlie O’Brien, Avro F.C. Operations Director and lead for Commercial & Partnerships, said:
“The addition of STATSports as our GPS Performance Partner will provide a wide array of benefits over the remainder of the season and beyond. The substantial levels of data are an essential tool in modern day football which allows the monitoring of training load and a detailed analysis of match performance.
It is a piece of equipment that is becoming as essential as shin pads and boots in today’s game. Young, aspiring players within our Academy teams can also benefit from this technology as part of the partnership and support in a player’s journey. Working with the world leader of GPS technology is further evidence of moving forward and striving to achieve the best performance possible both on and off the pitch.”
STATSports APEX Athlete Series offers real-time performance data, improving fitness, speed and performance on the pitch, while minimising injury risk. Apex Athlete Series, the FIFA approved GPS Tracker, is the most advanced wearable tech on the market and is worn by athletes during training sessions and in matches to collect intricate data on their performance and physical wellbeing. This allows managers and coaches to make decisions to adjust player or team workloads based on the data provided, and has transformed the GPS player tracking device landscape.
Mark Haughey, Business Development Manager at STATSports, said:
“Our Apex Coach Series app is the perfect solution for clubs at any level to use GPS analysis to drive performance without the need for a Sports Scientist. It’s designed by coaches, for coaches, with easy-to-understand data and an efficient way of actioning the insights from that data.’
‘Avro FC are a great example of a club who are looking to grow and the use of GPS analysis during their training and matchday is a key indicator of that progress. We’re excited to help them on their journey.”
Athletes have a choice of 18 metrics to track, including speed and distance, and can compare their results across leagues and leaderboards. Manchester City and England midfielder Phil Foden said of the technology:
“It tracks your distance, intensity, how many sprints you do. It’s going to improve all aspects of your game at Avro FC.”
Avro Football Club is excited to begin work with this revolutionary sports performance company and joins the growing client list of teams which includes Juventus, Manchester United, Manchester City, Liverpool, Arsenal, Brazil and England.
