Catapult

Had a great time in Utrecht at the Catapult Benelux Football Workshop speaking about my Opposition Analysis workflow, especially with MatchTracker. Massive respect to the Catapult and Utrecht guys for having the vision to make this event possible. I feel honored you have invited me to speak. Big thank you everyone coming out to listen and converse. You made this event truly special.

A must-read ... and yes, the numbers don't lie.

I've only been involved in F1 for just over a decade and it's not just the cars that have evolved, it's alo how teams use data to extract thousandths of a second to get that important pole position, or the undercut that gives you the win. Most teams on the grid use RaceWatch from Catapult and I've been luck to have been involved with that over this past decade. Some of the evolution in our software is as simple as more data integrations, or tools and features to help better collaboration and quicker decision making, to more complicated algorithms, AI and machine learning features that help manage track limits infringements or create optimised and precise race predictions, creating a seamless all in one solution for those under pressure sitting on the pitwall.

MD-5: preparation makes the difference In football, every small detail counts. Preparation matters. Data matters. The right insights at the right time can be the difference between winning and falling short. That’s why we’re gearing up for the Catapult Benelux Football Workshop. An event designed to empower teams, coaches, and performance staff with the latest innovations in football tracking, performance analysis, and data-driven decision-making. Just like matchday minus five (MD-5) is crucial in shaping tactical, physical, and mental readiness, we have worked closely with the team behind the event to ensure optimal preparation. And have a little fun too! Come and join us https://lnkd.in/eiGuXfz7 Onwards and Upwards! #1%bettereveryday #culture #leadership #highperformance

Bridging the Research Gap in Women’s Football. Did you know that female footballers suffer non-contact ACL injuries 2.5 times more often than their male counterparts? While no single cause has been pinpointed, this underscores the urgent need for women-specific research and training. Yet, despite clear developmental differences, like how girls hit their adolescent height spike about two years earlier than boys, sports science research remains largely male-focused. A review of 5,000+ sports science studies found that: 🔹 31% studied only male participants 🔹 63% included both men and women 🔹 Only 6% focused exclusively on women This lack of dedicated research means that many training protocols and products for women are simply scaled-down versions of those designed for men. At Catapult, we’re addressing this disparity by working with institutions like Loughborough University and West Ham United FC Women’s team to develop women-specific performance pathways. Our latest Women’s Football Benchmark Report, built on match data from the 2023 Women’s World Cup, establishes position-specific benchmarks for distance, speed, and intensity based on real elite scenarios. This is just the beginning of a data-driven revolution in women’s football. By tailoring training and performance standards to the unique demands of the women's game, we can improve safety, enhance performance, and drive the sport forward. 🔗 Access the full report to start building better training programs today. https://bit.ly/4i7CbCd @SportsBall #SportsDataDecoded #IWD2025 #AccelerateAction #UnleashPotential

Being involved in elite sports is a privilege—witnessing the world’s best athletes perform at the highest level every day is truly inspiring. Yet, despite being surrounded by high performance, I often find it challenging to stay active myself. Like many, I know the physical and mental benefits of exercise, but maintaining motivation can still be a struggle. That’s why, in February 2024, I organised the first Catapult Challenge—a global initiative to encourage exercise and healthy competition among my colleagues. This year, we’ve taken it even further! 🚀 Catapult Challenge 2025 has brought together 120 people across the globe, collectively logging 3,000 hours of activity. The impact has been incredible, proving once again that exercise isn’t just about physical health—it’s just as crucial for mental well-being. The research is clear: regular movement boosts focus, productivity, and resilience. But beyond the data, the most rewarding part of this challenge has been seeing our team come together, support one another, and embrace the power of being active. It’s been a privilege to organise and lead this challenge once again, and I’m already looking forward to next year!
