How is Playermaker different from GPS vest trackers?

Playermaker tracks everything a GPS vest does — distance, speed, sprint count, and more — but adds what GPS can’t: true football technique analysis

Mounted on your boots, Playermaker measures movement from its real source — your feet. This allows it to capture every touch, pass, turn, and kick with millisecond precision. 

By combining physical data (distance, speed, intensity) with technical insight (technique quality, foot usage, ball control), Playermaker reveals how you perform — not just how much you move. 

Its advanced algorithms deliver personalised feedback on your speed mechanics, change of direction, first touch, and overall technique — helping you train smarter and improve faster.

And because it’s powered by motion sensors (not GPS satellites), Playermaker works seamlessly indoors and outdoors, on any surface, anytime. 

How accurate is Playermaker?

Playermaker’s 6-axis smart sensors sample 1,000 times per second, tracking impact, ball contact, and foot rotation with exceptional precision. 

Independent scientific research from leading universities and sports performance labs has validated Playermaker’s data, showing up to 98% accuracy — often outperforming traditional GPS vest systems. 

The system is FIFA Quality certified and trusted by some of the world’s top clubs, academies, and sports organizations, following rigorous testing and validation by elite sports scientists. 

It even includes built-in self-checks to ensure data integrity — detecting incorrect mounting or sensor placement and automatically excluding inaccurate sessions. 

How long does the battery last?

Playermaker has a 6-hour session limit.
This is the maximum recording capacity for all recording modes.
Battery shows charge percentage in the app.
Charge fully before each session for best results.

What metrics does Playermaker track?

Technical Metrics

Playermaker captures every ball-related action - touches, passes, releases, including:

  • Kicking power and shooting speed

  • Work rate (distance per minute)  
  • Changes in direction (volume and intensity)

Can goalkeepers use Playermaker?

Yes! Playermaker is great for goalkeepers. 

It tracks explosive movements, accelerations, and kick power — helping improve first touchbalance, and distribution accuracy

Perfect for refining technique, monitoring training load, and boosting overall performance — indoors or outdoors.
