Playermaker

Playermaker is a company focused on helping young, aspiring footballers reach their full potential by offering a unique wearable technology that turns any shoe into a smart shoe. The system enables players to track their technical and physical performance, providing them with valuable insights and data to improve their game. The Playermaker system consists of small, lightweight sensors that are attached to the player’s boot with special straps. These sensors automatically collect data while the player is in action, measuring various aspects of their performance such as speed, agility, dribbling, first touch and two-footed ability. The data is then automatically synchronised with a dedicated app, allowing players to view, share and compare their stats with others. The software provides instant feedback, allowing players to quickly gain information about their technical and physical skills after a match or training session. This objective feedback helps players to adjust and improve their performance over time. The system also provides personalised tips and recommendations from experts, further supporting player development. As well as helping individual players, Playermaker is trusted by professional clubs and organisations and is a member of the FIFA Innovation Programme.
