Digital training planning and targeted talent development thanks to funding

FC Dornbreite Lübeck is using the funding from the Schleswig-Holstein State Sports Association to professionalize its digital infrastructure and thus tie players and coaches to the club in the long term. As a pioneer of digitization, FC Dornbreite also wants to convince other clubs in the region to take the digital path.

Funding

In the amateur sector, we can't and don't want to shut ourselves off from digitization any longer. We want to be pioneers of digitization in the region and win over coaches and players and retain them in the long term.

The opportunity to promote digital tools was perfect for us. The coachbetter team helped us a lot here to get the funding quickly and unbureaucratically. That was a great team effort.

Digitization is a great challenge, but at the same time a great opportunity.

We now have the opportunity to approach players, coaches and members in a completely different way.

Attracting coaches and players to the club and binding them in the long term

FC Dornbreite Lübeck is a soccer club from the Lübeck district of St. Lorenz with a total of 19 teams in current play. The club attracts attention primarily through its innovative approaches. In addition to its own eSports department, FC Dornbreite is continuously investing in a professional, digital infrastructure that sets the course for a successful future.

Coachbetter provides support not only in the ambitious senior soccer area, but especially in the youth area and in the further development of coaches, providing the best opportunities in this field. With digital tools, talents can be promoted in a targeted manner and coaches can be given a tool that facilitates their everyday work. In this way, the club succeeds in retaining young players and coaches in the long term.

We as a club and I as a coach use coachbetter and the functions daily. Our training design runs via coachbetter.

My coaching team and I design the sessions together and share the sessions with the players via the app. Of course, all players are created and we maintain the data continuously, all as part of the game day pre and post training. Our processes are super efficient and so we can fully focus on the development of our players.

Structured practice and targeted talent development

In addition to the versatile functions of coachbetter, the FC Dornbreite uses the following features to track the development of the players and to plan their training sessions.

Training planning

Coaches can choose from hundreds of exercises and customize their training to the performance level of their team. Exercises come mainly from the areas of technique, tactics and fitness. coachbetter also offers training packages for all age groups with different focuses in order to provide optimal training even under time pressure.

Draw and create practices

Coaches can draw their own exercises directly in the platform or transfer them to the platform. These can then be used by anyone. This creates an individual platform in the spirit of FC Dornbreite and its training philosophy.

Player profiles

The individual player profile, to which every player (or parents) has access via the coachbetter app, enables an efficient feedback culture and communication. Players can trace their own performance and development and can confirm or deny presence or absence for training sessions and games, directly in the app.

Video analysis

The visualization makes it much easier for the players to understand what they cannot see themselves. Videos can be uploaded, edited and tagged directly in the platform. Individual sequences of a match or training session can then be analyzed and shared directly with the player's individual profile in the app.

Coaches and Players App

The app for players and coaches really brings out the full added value of coachbetter. Players, parents and coaches have access to easy and intuitive event planning as well as player's game and practice availability and much more. This enables cohesive communication across the entire club - from club management to coaches to players with the player app.

Digitization is a great challenge, but at the same time a great opportunity.

We now have the opportunity to approach players, coaches and members in a completely different way.
