Sports Performance Tracking

Sports Performance Tracking (SPT) builds a small GPS unit that athletes wear in matches and training, together with software that turns the recorded data into usable figures. The Australian company sells to teams and to individual players.

What Sports Performance Tracking offers

• GPS tracking unit — a compact device built to cope with contact sport, recording movement during play.
• GameTraka software — converts raw data into distance covered, sprint counts, intensity and workload figures, and positional heat maps.
• Player app — each player can view and follow their own training data.
• Heart Rate Pack — an add-on sold alongside the core GPS pack.

Who it works with

The system is approved for soccer, Australian football, rugby, hockey and lacrosse, and serves both amateur and elite athletes. Coaches use it to watch workloads, limit injury risk and spot the strongest performers.
