Interestingly though, my highest five-minute split was 85’-90’, meaning I’d managed to maintain a relatively high level of intensity in my sprinting right up until the end of the game – something I’d been unable to do in recent weeks so a marked improvement on that front. Lots of short, sharp sprinting during the game, reaching a maximum speed of 29.8KPH – some way short of the pro level of 33.8KPH and my own season best of 35.8KPH. This enables us to better understand the differences between the theory and reality of our play and has really helped us eliminate much of the guesswork that is common in amateur football.Īs far as speed is concerned, this was far from one of my best sessions - as the rest of the squad were quick to remind me. We have a few PLAYR devices between us so heatmaps help us assess our positional play from half to half. Digging out an extra couple of kilometres is difficult, but for me they’re the most important benchmark of improvement. While 10k is a decent distance, it’s still not nearly as much as a professional would cover in this role. It’s a very demanding position which demands an extremely high workload. I clocked exactly 10km over the duration of my most recent 90 minutes at wing-back. First to the ball and last man running - these are the key principles I’ve tried to construct my playing style around. I play at either RW or more recently RWB so being fast and fit is crucial in these positions. My game revolves predominantly around one thing: pace. When I discovered that PLAYR offered a way of monitoring my physical output, I jumped at the chance to track my progress and improve.įor context, I’m 25 years-old, 5’9 and 70kg. So I try to make up for it with high intensity, speed and hard work. Naturally, I often feel like I’m playing catch-up with some of the guys who’ve grown up with a ball at their feet. I should stress that nothing about me or the level at which I play could be considered ‘elite’ – I’m an enthusiastic amateur player keen to maximise my performance levels. I now collect football boots, watch tons of professional games and play three times a week: including in the gladiatorial pit known as Sunday League.
