Empower to offer data analytics platform to assist player development.
Toronto, ON August 12, 2021//: Today Empower Futbol School and Best Athletes Ltd. announced a new partnership that brings together the GTA’s leader in holistic, skills-based training for competitive soccer players with a leading sports analytics platform that allows coaches and players to tap into professional-level data tools and performance development analytics to help athletes get recruited.
“We’ve really noticed a gap in player development options for competitive soccer players in the Greater Toronto Area.” said Chelsea Spencer, Founder of Empower. “What’s missing is a holistic approach that combines a positive soccer experience with sport specific training. Both male and female players are thriving with our methodology and we’re really excited to work with Best Athletes to help give players an extra edge in their development that will ultimately lead to better recruiting outcomes.”
Empower will use the Best Athletes data analytics and performance development platform in their training programs, camps and position specific development coaching.
Steven Caldwell, CEO of Best Athletes and current TSN Soccer Analyst and former captain of Toronto FC remarked “Empower is a great example of a female-led soccer training organization that provides an all-round approach to developing competitive soccer players. We’re fortunate to work with Empower as they utilize the latest data analytics and performance development tools to help players reach their full potential. We like to think that players, and their parents, now have the ability to take control of their future.”
Best Athletes was created to address the gap in athlete performance development by allowing coaches and players to use data science and analytics to benchmark performance and better understand the pathway to University/College opportunities and elite team participation.
