For this case study, we met with Mark Dunne who is the team manager of St. Rynaghs Camogie Club. The team has been using Actimet to help improve training, performance, and player wellbeing.
The Opportunity:
The team plays 3 times per week for 90 minutes, but a lot of other things happen in their lives throughout the week. The managers wanted to ensure their wellbeing and welfare were monitored to ensure they would pick up on any issues players were encountering outside training.
The Challenge:
Players have commitments including exams, work, and families. These factors can sometimes lead to extra pressure being put on the players and as a result, can lead to a lack of productivity.
The Solution:
Actimet has enabled the coaches to manage players’ load more effectively. Thus leading to less risk of injury. Players have also been logging pains or aches, before implementing Actimet players would train without saying anything, thus leading to possible injuries.
The Outcome:
Since implementing Actimet there have been some positive impacts on the team. Players inputting their updates has led to conversations being started between coaches and players. If coaches see an input that raises questions or a worry for a particular player they will check in with that player to see if there is anything they can help them with. The system has played a big part in managing the mental load of players. Coaches know when to reduce pressure or change things for the players, even recommending individual players to take a session off if they need.
