C CATAPULT PLAYR Smart Football Tracker - GPS Vest with App to Track and Improve Your Game - for iPhone and Android

Packaging was amazing! Loved it. Vest was a nice fit. The device was very, very light weight, small and barely noticeable.A fairly techy guy myself. I was hoping for all the data points it gathers... I would have an endless stream of nerdy information at my finger tips.. I did not.Whilst it did come in useful... Stuff like speed, time ran, distance, and even a heat map can all be found on a standard smart phone app - for free.The sprint directions was the thing I really looked forward to seeing. It worked. It showed the directions, great. But could hold more info: "How long each one was for. Speed reached. Distance travelled". It's these finer details I was hoping to get from this product. But with limited info available - there was no way of knowing unless item was bought.The youths did look at the stats - and it did give them a ton more drive and determination to beat their existing records.Actually opting for a different model for the elite academy I'm involved with. Other models have multiple user profiles, leagues, tables, live info, which is a massive upgrade for the same price.

I first used the C Catapult PLAYR in a friendly 7 aside game with footballers across different abilities so that I could compare myself against not only friends but people in higher leagues than myself. The accuracy of the readings were incredible! I was able to not only compare my stats against people around me but it compared my stats against the professional footballers that also use the football GPS vest. I now have signed for a high profiled local team in my area and through the heat map, stat readings and the comparison to professional football athletes, the vest has given me the drive to push harder and utilise the vest to become the best athlete that I can be. The vest helps me along every step of my journey and I didn’t know how much I actually needed one until I bought one!

After reading numerous articles on professional sports teams using data to assist coaches in training programmes to enhance elite athletes performance I was overwhelmed to discover PLAYR.PLAYR is a small and inexpensive way of bringing data driven decision making into my own sporting career (even if it is at an amateur level). The product itself is of a high build quality, small enough to fit in your pocket yet produces a WEALTH of information through its accompanying PLAYR app on iOS which is free to download!PLAYR analyses my movements on the pitch through GPS and also visualises speed and sprint analysis in an easily comprehendible way to help me improve my game combined with a comparison tool to show me how I compare with my team mates to add kudos and competition within my team to drive us further towards achieving greatness.Overall I am thoroughly impressed with this little bit of kit and I encourage any budding athlete to integrate PLAYR into their training regime to allow them to train smarter and not just harder.

So my friend has been wearing the Playr vest for a few months now, and every time I see him and it, we talk about it, so I thought I'd purchase one to try out. I play decent level of football but I've never been able to track my statistics the way professionals do. With this I get to see a proper heat map, all my stats: distance, speed, power and sprints, it helps me between training recover with the Smart Coach it has installed, and really i feel when I wear it, I push myself harder to compete with my previous sessions. Great product.

Great. Only drawback is the app is set at min 13 so my 10 year old is a little disappointed at his overall score. The vests come from size xxs which is about an 8 year old (my lad has the Xs) so clearly made for younger than 13. Still a great product.

Great product , good to track your speed , power etc being able to improve on results is a key thing to me , small improvements leads to big improvements

I tried this tracker at my local football club for a month and that month made me realise I had to buy it for myself. The Smartcoach and the stats make you feel like a real professional footballer and pushes you to want to become that, as well as helping you achieve that my showing you where to improve.I love it, and can't wait to us my own.

Great product. The tech is great for accurate analysis. Would help if it could be worn somewhere more self accessible as opposed to on your back. That’s just a minor thing. As a whole, GREAT product
