Our take

Catapult has been at the centre of the fast-growing sports technology market. It pioneered wearable technology to deliver insights to help athletes avoid injuries, play at peak performance, and manage return to play from injury. Its platform of solutions has expanded over the years, to include sophisticated wearable analytics worn in training and games, video analysis tools and athlete management systems.

Catapult's elite sports clients include more than 3,200 teams across the world. These include Real Madrid, Bayern Munich, the New York Giants and the Australian Cricket team.

Recently, Catapult has harnessed the potential for grassroots athletes and clubs to better monetise themselves with elite level performance data and insights. A lot of the existing wearables for consumers tend to be very good at recording data, but aren’t very good at helping athletes use that data to make a difference. Therefore, Catapult is now creating training plans to help the amateur athlete.

Catapult's long-term focus is to support teams via its platform to gain a clearer understanding of the relationship between data and performance outcome. The company invests heavily in R&D, analytics, sports science and a growing team of Business Development Managers around the world.
