miCOACH ELITE : TRAINING SYSTEM

PROJECT GOAL: The miCoach Elite system is used today by every club in the MLS and some of the best teams in the world. It is designed to track player performance for an entire team in real-time. The system includes a small data cell that fits into a pocket on the back between the shoulder blades. Connected by a series of sensors woven into the fabric, the cell transmits to a central computer over a wireless connection and is then displayed on the coach’s iPad. This iPad app and an accompanying desktop experience is what my team was tasked to create. The system provides coaches, trainers and players with real-time performance metrics including heart rate, speed, acceleration, distance, field position and for the first time, power.

THE APPROACH

We were approached by Adidas to create a proof of concept to be used for professional soccer training. Was it even possible to get actual metrics from a player on the field in a single second and display them on an interface? We were able to do it in half a second. After proving our mettle in the first phase, we were hired to bring the sytem to life.

We spent 8 months working out of an Adidas R&D lab, collaborating with the marketing team, trainers from some of the most notable teams in the world, physicists and engineers to produce a product that would later help Germany win the World Cup.

INTERACTION DESIGN

We worked in an agile methodology spanning 8 rigorous sprints. For each section of the app, we not only sketched a multitude of varient layouts and components, we also put together detailed functional specification documentation to be handed off to the development team.

TABLET APP EXPERIENCE
