Football Data That Drives Performance, Motivation & Career Growth with Premier Sports Network
In modern football, performance data is far more than just statistics—it’s a powerful tool for football player development, motivation, and career progression.
A new generation of football performance profiling and technology is transforming the way players train, adapt, and engage with their own development. At 292 Performance, we combine elite-level benchmarking with cutting-edge tech to give players, agents, and clubs clear, actionable insights.
Performance Profiling Built for Football
Using 292 Performance metrics, every player is benchmarked against elite footballers, offering clear, colour-coded feedback on strengths and growth areas.
“We compare them with the population of elite football players, so they know where they are relative to the best in the world.” – Mat Banks, Lead Performance Coach, 292 Performance
These profiles are not just for coaches—they are shared with players, agents, stakeholders and clubs, creating transparency and giving athletes ownership over their development.
Integrating Smart Football Technology
To bring profiling to life, 292 Performance partners with industry leaders in sports science and tech:
- SpeedWorks for acceleration and change-of-direction assessments
- BridgeAthletic Strength and Conditioning software for flexible, evolving training programmes
- Output Sports for real-time monitoring of exercise velocity and training intensity
This ensures programmes are dynamic and responsive, not fixed. Coaches can instantly adapt a session based on match demands, recovery needs, or individual readiness.
“If the training session is really hard, then this is an adapted session.” – Mat Banks
This integration allows training to meet athletes exactly where they are—physically, mentally, and logistically.
Turning Football Metrics into Motivation
Performance data isn’t only for coaches—it’s a motivational tool when used effectively.
Footballers care about being the fastest, most agile, and most powerful version of themselves. By gamifying performance data—through leaderboards for jump height, sprint times, or acceleration—coaches create a competitive culture in training.
“Nobody wants to be the worst. Post the jump scores on the wall and you can bet everyone will push harder in the next session.” – Mat Banks
When players understand the rationale behind a training intervention and how it relates to their goals, buy-in skyrockets.
A Holistic, External Performance Advantage
Working across multiple clubs and with independent athletes gives 292 Performance a unique perspective. Unlike in-house setups, we can cross-compare performance data across a broad range of players and competition levels, offering context-rich insights others may miss.
This isn’t just about collecting numbers—it’s about delivering meaningful, personalised context that drives real improvement.
“Players are so invested in data, not just for their own performance but for transfers and getting signed by different clubs.”
In an industry where milliseconds and marginal gains matter, this data-driven approach gives players the competitive edge they need.
Profiling Individuals
At 292 Performance, we believe football performance profiling should be smarter, transparent, and deeply engaging for the athletes we serve. By blending technology, benchmarking, and motivation, we help footballers train better, recover faster, and progress further.
