How to Set Up External Load Monitoring

Managing athlete workload is one of the most important jobs a coach can do. External Load Monitoring gives you the objective data you need to make smarter programming decisions. This video walks you through everything you need to get started.

Using GPS Peak Velocity Data

GPS technology gives coaches a powerful tool for tracking athlete output during training and competition. This system captures peak velocity data for each athlete on your roster. This data shows you exactly how hard each athlete works during every session. You can use this information to adjust training loads and protect athletes from overtraining. Peak velocity data also helps you identify which athletes need more recovery time between sessions.

No GPS? No Problem

Not every program has access to GPS technology, and that is completely fine. You can still build an effective monitoring system without it. This video covers how to use internal training load data as a reliable alternative. Internal load metrics measure how athletes respond to the stress of training. These methods give you a clear picture of each athlete’s workload without expensive equipment.

Why Load Monitoring Matters

Coaches who monitor load make better decisions about when to push and when to pull back. External Load Monitoring helps you spot fatigue trends before they lead to injury. Tracking load data consistently allows you to protect athlete availability throughout the entire season. A data-driven approach also helps you communicate more effectively with medical staff and other coaches.
