Kent Cricket coaches and physiotherapists are using a new app to monitor the form and fitness of players.
The ILG Elite Sports Performance App can store match footage and allow staff to communicate and attach video clips and documents to prepare for matches or treatment and rehabilitation of injuries.
Nimmo Reid, head of science and medicine, said: “The ILG Sports Performance App is a great tool for us to bring Sports Science and Medicine, Coaching and Performance analysis together in one platform. The app has been well received by both coaches and players who have been impressed with the layout and ease of use.”
Kent County Cricket Club are also using the Wellbeing module which is where forms can be submitted and analysed quickly and the Squad Status section allows coaches to see, at a glance, the condition of their team. It is a platform for communication, sharing and analysis with the end goal to enhance their performance.
