What does an Athlete Management System do? 

Athlete Management Systems (AMS) are expanding their capabilities more than ever before. However, with all the features and integrations, organizations must not lose sight of why AMS tools remain essential. AMS platforms allow coaching relationships to develop beyond the traditional constraints of time and proximity. Strong coach-athlete relationships are built on trust and personalized goal understanding. Therefore, coaches and athletes can use an AMS to build strong relationships both inside and outside the training facility.

Note: CoachMePlus is designed as a Human Performance Software that goes beyond an Athlete Management System. To us, a “coach” can refer to a physical therapist, strength and conditioning coach, personal trainer, athletic trainer, military leadership, or other human performance monitoring roles.

An AMS enables coaches to communicate with athletes, monitor their progress, and add context to collected data. Coaches can use these systems to assign workouts through an app, pull information from wearable devices, and monitor load and progress. However, these functions only deliver value when combined to create transparency into athlete workload and lifestyle. As a result, tools like Subjective Wellness Questionnaires and Load Monitoring help coaches make on-the-fly decisions. Specifically, coaches can act on alerts, dashboards, and reports to guide training and recovery decisions effectively.Sonnet 4.6

Benefits of an Athlete Management System

Save Time 

Athlete management systems streamline every step of the coaching process. From testing and programming, to analyzing and adjusting plans. When building a workout plan for an athlete, regularly scheduled set and rep progressions can easily be made into a test for updating key performance indicators such as one-rep-maximum (1RM). 

This feature allows workouts based on 1RM to automatically update with new information, personalizing the experience for each athlete. As a result, when coaches regularly assign the same program, the workouts scale alongside the athlete’s growing strength and ability. Furthermore, this functionality proves especially useful when coaches assign workouts to groups, as the system tailors each workout to individual abilities. At the same time, the system keeps all athletes aligned with the group’s overall goals.

With an athlete management system or athlete management software, there is less paperwork to process. There is no need for endless excel documents. This allows coaches to focus on the important parts of human performance improvement. (Gyms, clubs, and personal trainers specifically can Monetize Online Training Services with a system like this.)

Improve Communication with Athlete Management Software

Good relationships depend on good communication. CoachMePlus offers in-app messaging to both groups and individuals, keeping everyone connected. Additionally, coaches and athletes can share files simply and efficiently. Teams can store photos, videos, and other important content using the Athlete and Coach Library, which streamlines and embeds file sharing seamlessly. Furthermore, coaches can manage permissions for their organization so athletes access a personalized experience on any mobile device, eliminating any privacy concerns.

Track

The need to import any human performance data set is a burden that every team needs to solve, and we designed a universal importer for teams of all sizes. Coaches can quickly upload different types of training or fitness related datasets with ease, which means they’ll have less time on the sideline recovering from training injuries so they can focus more heavily on coaching their athletes. 

Analyze

Engage athletes with live dashboards showing real-time performance information. Coaches can view real-time performance data and fitness levels, compliance, and training readiness. 

Training assessment – not just strength-based assessments, but also functional movement screening tools, sleep, mood, stress, and wellness questionnaires. With so much information out available to coaches, assessing how individuals have performed over time has never been easier.

Assess the quality of your training sessions through a variety of metrics, including heart rate, sets, reps, intensity, training load, and more. Track progression towards set goals to make sure your athletes are improving and ready for intense competition.

Who can benefit from having an Athlete Management System?

Gym Owners

AMS systems give people the ability to coach remotely or implement a hybrid in-person/online training program. CoachMePlus allows you to communicate with your members through their mobile devices and track their fitness progress. Both the members and gym owners benefit from the ease and transparency in workout programs. Trainers save time, increase retention rates, and provide accurate data about progress. Read More 

Strength and Conditioning Coaches

Human Performance Software helps coaches maximize the potential of the full team of athletes. Coaches can assign workouts based on position, or to each player individually. Professional sports teams like the Chicago Bulls, Nashville Predators and the Buffalo Bills have all benefited from Athlete Management Systems. Many high school and university coaches have used our software to manage individual and team growth. AMS systems provide coaching staff with transparency on progress and potential recovery or performance issues with players. Read more 

Physical Therapists

Therapists can help with many aspects of life including injury prevention, range of motion, rehabilitative care programming, recovery programming, ergonomics, and more. An athlete management system can be used for patients that may be experiencing pain or discomfort or rehabilitating after an injury. The body needs a balance between mobility and stability to avoid injury and physical therapists use athlete management systems to assess movements and improvement. 

Military

Monitoring warriors’ readiness is just as important during peacetime and training periods and makes them a suitable candidate for athlete management software. Success relies on proper preparation, so it’s vital that commanders receive the information they need to make decisions about what is best suited for their own command. It’s crucial that evaluations be tailored to each unique command because different requirements can greatly affect performance metrics like strength or physical fitness levels when evaluating them against other units in a larger force structure. Evaluate your unit by taking into account all aspects such as skills learned throughout activities, injury rates from both combat-related injuries and noncombat related incidents, fatigue levels among troops who must balance both military and family roles simultaneously.

Workplace Management / Industrial

The aging US workforce will require employers to implement programs that reduce the cost of musculoskeletal (MSK) injuries. Current options are inefficient and lack 1:1 coaching, which can lead to a high rate of failure in driving interventions at scale for MSK conditions such as low back pain, shoulder mobility or other overuse related injuries. More testing technology options have become available as wearables become more commonplace. Our platform provides a future-proof position as practitioners update hardwares and technology as it evolves.  As these factors change, it is crucial for providers who want to enter their practice field be up-to-date on recent innovations so they provide patients with improved care outcomes while also reducing costs associated with treating overuse and role-specific injury issues.
