How Metric Athlete works
Metric Athlete is a GPS pod and an app for team sport. Players wear the pod in training and matches, staff sync it afterwards, and the app shows what each player did and how their load is building.
How it works
From the field to a decision in four steps.
Wear
Each player wears a pod. It records GPS position and motion for the whole session.
Sync
Offload the pods over Bluetooth to a phone or tablet at the field, or through the desktop app.
Review
The app turns each recording into metrics you can read by player, team and drill.
Manage
Track each player's load across weeks and bring injured players back in stages.
What the app shows you
The same sessions, players and load on mobile, desktop and web.
The whole session on one screen
Team totals and every player's distance, top speed, accelerations, impacts and load for the session.
What each number means- Plan drills and match periods, or split a session afterwards
- Read every metric by player, team and drill
- Export PDF, CSV and Excel reports from the desktop app
Everything in the app
Sessions and drills
Plan drills and match periods, or split a session afterwards, and read every metric for each part.
Session templates
Save a session's drills and periods as a template and reuse it for the next one.
Player analytics
Each player's session against their own history, including top speed as a share of their personal max.
Compare sessions
Put sessions side by side: training against match, or this week against last.
Load management
Acute and chronic load for every player, with a ratio that flags who is doing too much or too little.
Return to play
Seven stages back from injury, each with a load target from the player's own baseline and medical clearance to move up.
Metrics Glossary
Every metric's definition inside the app, so staff and players read the numbers the same way.
Reports
Export sessions as PDF, CSV and Excel reports from the desktop app.
