The team did not just see us as a customer but valued us as close working partners on this venture. We quickly built up a rapport on a personal level which enabled the software to grow and adapt with ease. The strength of the relationship created, generates open and honest conversations which at times are not in the best interest of their business but certainly of ours. The team are very skilled in their areas and we are very happy with the product we have and the results its delivered. We will continue our relationship we have built over the last five years."
Legacy Elite Performance helps sports clubs improve their recruitment and retention process. They came to StyleTech looking for a solution to enhance their Excel-based system to achieve their ultimate goal in helping clubs and coaches get the maximum output possible from their talent development and first-team squads.
Our client was looking for a piece of software which would optimise the process of identifying raw potential and nurturing it into first-team talent quickly, effectively and efficiently. Our clients’ previous system monitored players progress through several Excel-based workbooks, where data needed to be collated and then put into scores, tables and graphs manually. The system was slow to update, wasn’t user friendly and couldn’t get the data back to the players in a timely manner. Our client needed help with developing a system that could do all of these things quickly and be made more accessible to the coaches and players.
We worked closely with our client to deliver a web and mobile app which allows coaches and players to work together to sculpt the perfect personal development plan for maximum performance.
Our close working relationship enabled us to add extra functionality and help suggest different ideas, to help ensure our client got the best out of their software. The new functionality accommodates for flexibility allowing academies to tailor their training schedules to suit their coaching philosophies and agendas, increasing the likelihood of success.
The software has helped our client redefine the process of player performance and development, using statistical evidence to highlight critical competencies. The software provides dashboard summaries of data in a clear and meaningful manner meaning our client can now analyse physical performance attributes, core skills, mental characteristics and lifestyle factors that indicate where a player’s current strengths lie and where growth is needed. This evidence-based approach to performance management has increased productivity and improved the appraisal process by eliminating any ‘grey areas’ which are subjective.
The system has created efficiencies in many areas, such as the speed of the player appraisal, as the player's data can be entered and monitored via the website or mobile app. This has also helped coaches improve their recruitment and retention as it enables coaches to compare players and positions across a range of age groups. Clear targets can be set for each development area, team or individual so that specific, measurable goals can be monitored closely. Overall communication between coaches and players has improved, as all information can be found in one place and can be fed from the website or mobile app making the data available to everyone who needs it.
