Our take
Catapult has been a leader in the rapidly growing sports technology market, pioneering wearable technology that provides valuable insights to help athletes prevent injuries, optimise performance, and manage their return to play. Over time, the company has expanded its offerings to include advanced wearable analytics, video analysis tools, and athlete management systems, all designed to enhance athletic performance.
The company boasts an elite clientele including over 3,200 teams worldwide, such as Real Madrid, Bayern Munich, the New York Giants, and the Australian Crick team. These teams rely on Catapult's cutting-edge technology to monitor and improve athletes' performance across training and competition.
Recently, the company has shifted its focus to supporting grassroots athletes and clubs by helping them monetise elite-level performance data. While many consumer-grade wearables excel at collecting data, they often fail to guide athletes in using it effectively. To address this, Catapult is developing tailored training plans to help amateur athletes leverage data for better results. With a long-term strategy of understanding how data correlates with performance on a deeper level.
