When the spring semester ended, Davidson Women's Basketball didn't put their PlayerData units in a drawer. They continued to use them, allowing each of their players to take their own unit home for the summer.

Home, in this case, meant multiple countries. Players scattered across the globe for the offseason, units in hand, tracking their own sessions without a coach in the building or a sports scientist on call.

This is one of the major benefits of using PlayerData.

There's no laptop required. No complicated setup. No waiting on a coach to download the data. Players start sessions themselves with one tap on the mobile app. They sync data themselves via Bluetooth straight to their phone. They have the ability to check in with coaches about their data in real time too, regardless of where in the world the athletes happen to be. And when the unit needs a charge, it is a simple USB connection, the same cable they already carry.

Associate Head Coach James Janssen put it simply.

"It's unbelievable. This year, we let our players all take their own PlayerData units with them for the offseason. We have players all over the planet involved in a range of activities during the summer and this allows them the autonomy to track their own loads and request feedback."

‍

The result is a team that's sure to show up to preseason with a full summer's worth of data already in their back pocket. Players can share with coaches exactly what they've been doing. Players arrive informed about their own development. And the conversation that used to start from scratch, starts from somewhere much further along.

This is especially essential in the modern landscape of college basketball, where teams need to hit the ground running in a condensed timeframe.
