With the beta release of our new Calendar app, we have made a big step in the direction of helping sports club managers organize their daily business and level up in their training quality by reducing the burden of administration. But there are so many more ways that Sportlyzer can help you develop your club. Let’s have a quick overview what Sportlyzer does.
Sportlyzer is pleased to announce the launch of the beta version of our newest app Calendar for coaches and club managers. Sportlyzer Calendar is a huge step in simplifying your club time, event and participation management. You can plan and visualize your workouts, competitions, other events and track attendances. As with all Sportlyzer apps, Calendar is effortlessly synced with our other apps through the club central database to ensure maximum functionality with minimum effort.
Constantly developing your sports club is a huge part of what club administrators do. If you don’t keep up with the times, you risk with stagnation and eventually losing out to your competition or to other sports. You risk becoming irrelevant.
So what can you do if you see that a change is necessary? How to take your club up to the next level on a technical, philosophical or organizational path? This can be a considerable task as people can become accustomed to their own ways. To help you with that, we have adjusted the 8-step process proposed by Harvard Business School professor Dr. John Kotter to the environment of the sports clubs.
We have delved into the subject of Long-Term Athlete Development (LTAD) in our last blog post. We looked at the benefits that focusing on the long-term, holistic development of an athlete can bring. Many may feel that a lot of what adds up to the LTAD model is common sense – people mostly agree with the concept pretty easily. Yet we still see that actually applying LTAD to the whole training process as an overarching idea can be difficult as practical problems arise. But to solve these problems, we first have to define them.
The whole team of Sportlyzer has grown up doing sports. We have people who have excelled in swimming, karate or skating. We have people who have competed in rowing, football or triathlon and more. Even after youth sports we have stayed connected to the things we love, making us a pretty good example of Long-Term Athlete Development (LTAD) model. It’s a sports development model that we live by, intended to ensure long-term benefits from age-specific exercising, bringing lifelong sports enjoyment and success. Let’s discover the major benefits of the LTAD model.
Physical literacy is a brilliant concept that has been gaining some traction in the sports community. Canadians, the frontrunners of the concept, have started to implement the idea in their sports community on a large scale, but to the wider world, being physically literate is either a complete nonsense or just being good at sports.
The winter time has begun and so have the holidays. Hence, on behalf of all the Sportlyzer Team, we wish you the snowiest days full of fun winter activities.
As most of the coaches have probably seen, the new Sportlyzer training planner is now live. It is similar to the old one, but with a few extra perks. You can get a good overview of the planner from Silver Mikk’s blog post, but to see, how to use the different features of the new planner, keep reading this post.
Our iOS developer Silver Mikk has used Sportlyzer analysis tools to create a neat overview of his year of training. He gives us a good summary of his general plan, volume and intensity, of his training camps and of his favorite workouts.
Take a look at his post from here.
Good news for all rowers – Rowing in Motion now allows the export of stroke rate data! This means that you can import it to Sportlyzer and merge it with data from your watch or other sources (if necessary).
