Lake Oswego High School Football’s 2024 season has been nothing short of extraordinary. Achieving a flawless 10-0 regular season record in the highly competitive 6A Three Rivers League, the team showcased their dominance with 414 points scored and only 109 points allowed. Now, they’re gearing up for an epic state championship showdown against their rival, West Linn.
This historic season reflects the team’s commitment to strategic preparation and optimal physical readiness, supported by PlayerData’s GPS tracking technology. By integrating PlayerData into their program, Lake Oswego’s coaches were able to make data-driven decisions that ensured their players were primed for success each game day.
"We started using PlayerData this year with our football team. By seeing how much work the athletes were undertaking in practice and games, it allowed our performance staff and coaches to enhance intensity and practice schedules. This gave our athletes a greater opportunity to reach game day at a higher readiness level. The information provided will also give a clearer picture for offseason physical preparation. PlayerData provides a clear picture for proactive decision making to get our athletes ready for the demands of our game."
— Mark McLaughlin, Strength and Conditioning Coach, Lake Oswego High School
High school football seasons are demanding, requiring players to perform at peak levels with minimal recovery time. As the season progresses, balancing performance with preservation becomes increasingly challenging. For Lake Oswego, understanding player workloads in both games and practices proved essential.
PlayerData provided critical insights that transformed the team’s approach. For example, early in the season, coaches discovered their athletes were covering high-speed distances equivalent to an extra quarter during warmups. With this data, they adjusted the intensity of warmups to avoid unnecessary fatigue, ensuring the players were prepared to finish games strong without compromising performance.
Ultimately, Lake Oswego’s success demonstrates the power of using technology to sustain peak performance throughout a season and beyond.
