Overview
STATSports makes wearable GPS-based tracking devices and software for athletes at all levels. Teams wear devices during training and games; the data tracks speed, distance, workload, and other metrics, which coaches and sports scientists analyze to plan training and monitor load. They offer a range from elite to grassroots options so teams with different budgets can access similar technology, and they operate across multiple sports worldwide. Their goal is to help teams improve training and performance by turning wearable data into actionable insights.
