Polar and coachbetter join forces - load data as part of the training planning and training control

The integration of load data in training planning and player development offers amateur clubs in particular new possibilities for training control

Zurich, June 30, 2022: The Finnish sports technology company Polar and the SportTech startup coachbetter from Switzerland announce a strategic partnership that will enable thousands of grassroots soccer clubs to find new ways in their everyday sporting life.

The partnership enables both parties to combine the important parameters of training control and load data as well as the collection of personal data and statistics, and thus to offer amateur clubs an optimal and professional solution at low cost in order to develop their players in the best possible way.

By working with coachbetter, we can now offer our technology and evaluations to all amateur clubs even more easily via a direct interface to coachbetter. The youth teams of amateur clubs in particular are increasingly competing with teams from the youth academies of professional clubs. It is therefore important that good tools are available to everyone.
Alexander Polle, Polar Germany

FC Eintracht Northeim is the first club to benefit from the cooperation between the two companies and implements Polar and coachbetter throughout the club in order to promote young talent in particular and to further underline the innovative path of the club.

Training control is also becoming increasingly important in the amateur sector. It is important to make optimal use of the little time you have with the players during the week. With the direct interface to Polar and the processed data in coachbetter, coaches can now also work with objective performance data and, for example, divide training groups according to stress levels.
Thomas Grimm, Co-Founder Coachbetter

The young start-up from Switzerland only recently drew attention to itself when it announced its partnership with Borussia Dortmund. The eight-time German champion uses coachbetter for coaching education and player development in the BVB Evonik Football Academy and all partner clubs and academies worldwide in over 16 countries.
