European Football
BreakAway is a high-performance company run by high-performance people.
We tailor sport-specific data insights to develop and engage athletes. With experience across elite sport, we know what it takes to win.
The BreakAway App
For Athletes
We put athlete data in the hands of the players who create it.
We do so via the world’s first mobile-only athlete app, which gives athletes an easy, secure way to engage with their high-performance world.
The app can ingest data from any source and convert it into your performance language:
•Match data
•GPS/Tracking data
•Testing data
•Sleep/Recovery data
•Wearable data
•Self-report data
•Biomechanics data
•Data from any source
The app’s Performance Centre is simple, useful, actionable. You can view your entire performance and preparation data—and how those metrics compare to recent trends.
The app’s Data Locker is a secure storage vault, enabling players to access their historical data at any point for performance or commercial reasons.
For Teams
The BreakAway app is an organisation’s opportunity to promote a winning culture around athlete data ownership.
A player-centred approach, with data flowing to the BreakAway app, is the only way to create a truly connected network between all stakeholders for complete performance oversight.
This makes the app an essential performance communication tool. Proactively engage players with relevant and interesting metrics, tailoring unique performance narratives for each player.
App data is connected to your systems via Stacks, our back-end data connection and porting tool.
Stacks
Stacks is our flexible software solution that enables teams to choose what data—match, training, recovery, media clips—they send to players via the BreakAway athlete app to shape performance conversations.
You don’t change AMS providers or workflows. We enhance your process and communication.
BreakAway offers an automated and complete data picture of your players. We connect to any technology or data source: your club, personal consultants, national teams, and loan clubs.
Stacks proactively solves GDPR challenges when it comes to data sharing and portability.
