Club and County teams using Actimet to replicate pre-season in Lockdown

Club and County GAA teams, as well as rugby and soccer clubs, have had it tough over the past year due to the pandemic. To help their players who are forced to train on their own, more and more of them are using the Irish-built Actimet platform to help oversee their player’s individual training sessions and compare intensity levels to other players in their squad.

By using Actimet to help replicate that pre-season effort level for players, it helps coaches who are working to improve the training they are doing. The information is easily shared via the Actimet Athlete mobile app and viewed by coaching teams via the Actimet coach portal.

Rory McGauran – Head of Operations at Actimet notes: “We’ve seen a dramatic increase of team sign-ups this year so far – as coach and management teams are learning more about the power of subjective athlete monitoring where athletes share their perception of training intensity and wellness”. 

Actimet is simplifying the communication path between athlete and coach and also allows messaging from coach to athlete, feedback from the player, and the ability to share training plans and schedules.

McGauran continues “the feedback from teams is extremely positive as it is helping all sides stay connected and providing players with a connection to the teams they want to be training for, helping them to be aligned with the rest of their squad and prepared for when they can return as a group.

“Clubs are also extremely positive about the wellness function which can be used for, not only a way to measure readiness to train but also allows players an avenue to highlight if they need any help with stresses from work, home or elsewhere. We have heard of numerous cases where club management and officials were able to act on well-being issues highlighted by players – helping them to overcome things they would never have known about if it wasn’t for Actimet.”

Actimet consists of an easy to use mobile app for the player and a web portal for the coach. Founded by two members of the Galway senior hurling management team Lukasz Kirszenstein, Head of S&C, and Rory McGauran, Head of Perf Analysis, as well as South African Technical Architect Edward Kaschula.
