CATAPULT PLAYR Smart Football Tracker - GPS Vest with App to Track and Improve Your Game - for iPhone and Android (Youth)

After reading numerous articles on professional sports teams using data to assist coaches in training programmes to enhance elite athletes performance I was overwhelmed to discover PLAYR. PLAYR is a small and inexpensive way of bringing data driven decision making into my own sporting career (even if it is at an amateur level). The product itself is of a high build quality, small enough to fit in your pocket yet produces a WEALTH of information through its accompanying PLAYR app on iOS which is free to download! PLAYR analyses my movements on the pitch through GPS and also visualises speed and sprint analysis in an easily comprehendible way to help me improve my game combined with a comparison tool to show me how I compare with my team mates to add kudos and competition within my team to drive us further towards achieving greatness. Overall I am thoroughly impressed with this little bit of kit and I encourage any budding athlete to integrate PLAYR into their training regime to allow them to train smarter and not just harder.

I first used the C Catapult PLAYR in a friendly 7 aside game with footballers across different abilities so that I could compare myself against not only friends but people in higher leagues than myself. The accuracy of the readings were incredible! I was able to not only compare my stats against people around me but it compared my stats against the professional footballers that also use the football GPS vest. I now have signed for a high profiled local team in my area and through the heat map, stat readings and the comparison to professional football athletes, the vest has given me the drive to push harder and utilise the vest to become the best athlete that I can be. The vest helps me along every step of my journey and I didn’t know how much I actually needed one until I bought one!

A year ago I bought playertek (now doing more sprints, more accurate position on the field and less energies wasted running around!!!) but saw this new model from catapult used by some young pros at the Gothia Cup. It’s in a different league: - vest super light and super cool design & fit - tracker is ridiculously smaller (probably half the size of playertek) - app very slick, with similar features but with a virtual coach who follows you around and gives you tips based on your game - I like the calendar functionality where I set my next training and match day keeping me on a training schedule with recommendations from professional coaches - I like that it’s wireless (no buttons) and activates deactivate automatically when I put it into the vest. Not sure how it does that but it’s pretty neat. Just need to make sure to put on the right side. Wish it had an extra vest in the package to use when the other vest is washed and hang drying.

Great. Only drawback is the app is set at min 13 so my 10 year old is a little disappointed at his overall score. The vests come from size xxs which is about an 8 year old (my lad has the Xs) so clearly made for younger than 13. Still a great product.

So my friend has been wearing the Playr vest for a few months now, and every time I see him and it, we talk about it, so I thought I'd purchase one to try out. I play decent level of football but I've never been able to track my statistics the way professionals do. With this I get to see a proper heat map, all my stats: distance, speed, power and sprints, it helps me between training recover with the Smart Coach it has installed, and really i feel when I wear it, I push myself harder to compete with my previous sessions. Great product.

I tried this tracker at my local football club for a month and that month made me realise I had to buy it for myself. The Smartcoach and the stats make you feel like a real professional footballer and pushes you to want to become that, as well as helping you achieve that my showing you where to improve. I love it, and can't wait to us my own.

Great product , good to track your speed , power etc being able to improve on results is a key thing to me , small improvements leads to big improvements

I don’t recommend anyone buying this gadget because it’s very unreliable or simply not working. First of all, when the match is over and you try to synchronise it with the app to set up a session it won’t let you do it because it insist the match started at a different time and you can’t do anything about it. Secondly, if someone tries to use the gadget twice a day (let’s say you went training in the morning and had a match in the evening) then the device doesn’t recognise the second session, it just won’t record it. I gave it one star but it doesn’t deserve even that.

Un pelin complicado pero muy itil lo malo un solo idioma solo esta ingles

La utilizzo nelle partite e allenamenti a 5 e 7. Rispetto agli smartwatch è due gradini sopra. La app da anche la possibilità di programmare gli allenamenti. Utilizzatela sempre dentro un campo da gioco, altrimenti la rilevazione avviene solo su distanza, senza poter tener conto di tutti gli altri dati.

Ich konnte die Weste nun schon ein paar mal testen, sowohl im Training als auch beim Spiel. Ich habe diese Weste sowie den Tracker von Trackticks ausprobiert und muss sagen, dass dieser hier echt bei weitem besser ist. Es fängt schon beim Tragekomfort an, man vergisst eigentlich, dass man die Weste trägt, echt gut! Und auch die Auswertung mit der App klappt ohne Probleme. Mit meinen iPhone hat es direkt funktioniert, also kann die Probleme aus den anderen Rezensionen absolut nicht nachvollziehen. Die Auswertung selber ist genau das, was man als Fußballer braucht. Schon nach dem ersten Mal tragen konnte ich Defizite in meiner Form feststellen wo ich sie nicht erwartet hätte. Ich dachte zum Beispiel immer, ich laufe viel und sprinte wenig, ganz im Gegenteil, dadurch dass ich häufig sprinte, und das auch unnötig, bin ich viel zu schnell verausgabt. Einfach und gut strukturiert, also auch hier ein Pluspunkt für den PLAYR. Alles in einem Trainingstechnisch eine echte Bereicherung. Auch Top: Nach Training bei Regen muss man nicht warten bis der Anschluss zum Laden trocken ist, sondern man legt das Teil einfach auf die Ladestation und es lädt induktiv. Hochwertiges Produkt für fairen Preis!

Habe die Weste geschenkt bekommen und war zunächst noch skeptisch, da ich mich eher zum Fußball der alten Schule zähle. Ich muss allerdings zugeben, dass mich die Funktionen der Weste absolut überzeugen! Eine präzise Datenauswertung berechnet auf dem bespielten Platz - ich bin begeistert! Auch die App ist sehr einfach zu bedienen. Meine Meinung, dass es sich um spielerischen Schnick-Schnack handele, habe ich schnell revidiert. Demnach durchaus auch für ältere Hobby-Kicker, wie ich es bin, zu empfehlen!

Gps carino ma poco professionale, bello il gps con zone di campo dove si è stati di più, ma nessuna possibilità di tagliare allenamento e capire singola esercitazione che dati hai ottenuto
