Problem
Traditional methods of tracking football players' performance often lack real-time data and are not easily accessible or affordable for many teams, limiting their ability to make informed decisions during training and matches. Existing GPS-based systems may also fail to capture the full spectrum of player movements, particularly those occurring at lower speeds or involving rapid changes in direction.
Solution
Next11 offers a live, mobile performance-tracking system designed to provide affordable and accessible data for football teams of all levels. The system tracks technical, physical, and tactical performance metrics, delivering real-time data and AI-powered insights directly to a coach's tablet at the sideline. By combining data from a leg-based sensor, ball tracking (coming soon), and an intuitive player app, Next11 enables coaches and players to make data-driven decisions, optimize workload planning, and prevent injuries. The system's portable design and automated data sharing streamline performance analysis, making it easier for teams to improve player development and overall performance.
Target Audience
The primary target audience includes football coaches, managers, and players at all levels seeking affordable and accessible performance data to improve training effectiveness, optimize player development, and enhance in-game decision-making.
