Did you know that just 13% of football performance studies only focus on female athletes? ⚽ Right now, over half of sports science practitioners don’t have the key reference values they need for women’s competitions, so most of the time, they’re forced to use data from the men’s game. That means lots of workload limits and injury risk models don’t actually fit. To really move forward, the industry needs real data that makes sense for female athletes. Using the men’s numbers just doesn’t cut it. We have teamed up with Mercury13 to create female-specific benchmarks from the ground up. By collecting real data from pro clubs, we will work to: - Reduce risk of injury with accurate load management - Prepare players for the physical demands of modern schedules - Unleash the true Potential of players With access to custom benchmarks built specifically for women's football, clubs can make better decisions about player training, manage workloads more safely and track development more accurately. These insights help staff support athletes’ progress and wellbeing in ways that reflect the realities of the women’s game.
