Change me
I am neither a coder nor a physiologist, but I was able to successfully bridge both worlds and bring the two together to make what existed in both to a working digital application that successfully decreased injury and increased performance in athletes.
We had countless meetings trying to translate a trainer’s “it depends” answers into digital ones and zeroes, constantly modifying the model, the design and the approach to testing and prescriptive.
Assessment of breathing capacity as a test.
A small group of us worked on bringing a decade of experience and piles Excel and handwritten “cards” in Sports Performance evaluations and testing together with a talented and dedicated programmer and an equally talented and application-savvy designer.
The result was a working first-generation application that recorded athlete’s wellness, results and was able to modify or gate athlete’s workouts depending on their physical readiness and capabilities.
Additionally, I worked with the designer and Sports Performance Director to oversee the identity and positioning of the application, which is a new tool for coaches and athletic departments.
