At the University of Richmond, the women’s field hockey program isn’t just chasing wins. The staff is chasing a bigger idea: helping every athlete leave the program better than they arrived, on the field and off it. That pursuit takes more than effort. It takes a plan, and it takes knowing whether the plan is actually working.

That’s where PlayerData comes in.

As one of the top field hockey programs in the Atlantic 10, Richmond demands a lot of its athletes across a long, physical season. Field hockey is a fast, stop-start game with its own unique demands, so borrowed metrics from other sports don’t tell the full story. PlayerData gives the Spiders a native field hockey app experience, with essential volume and intensity metrics built around how the game is played. The staff can see how hard athletes are working, segment it by session, and adjust the week before fatigue becomes a problem.

The result is training with a purpose behind every rep.

“Our goal is to help student-athletes become the best version of themselves, on and off the field. PlayerData helps us get there. It keeps our fitness intentional, gives us a plan each week to raise the bar, and teaches our athletes to own their progress,” said Martu Loncarica, head coach.

When athletes can see their own numbers, accountability stops being something a coach enforces and becomes something players take on themselves.

Richmond is in good company. Field hockey programs from the NESCAC through the ACC are turning to PlayerData to bring the same intention to their training. Across every division, more coaches are deciding they’d rather know than guess.
