Menlo Park, California and Munich, Germany September 26, 2024 – Kitman Labs, the global enterprise SaaS platform providing the only single, centralized operating system for performance intelligence in Sports has today announced its first deal with a European League of Football team, the Munich Ravens.
The American Football team based in Munich, Germany will utilize the Performance Medicine and Performance Optimization Solutions in the Intelligence Platform (iP) – combining medical and performance data in a single, integrated platform designed to unlock player health, wellness and performance outcomes across the Men’s First Team.
The Munich Ravens will now be able to unify all data and analytics in a singular operating system. The centralization of the data and combination of these critical data sets will eliminate information silos, enable cross-departmental collaboration and provide practitioners and stakeholders alike with access to complete, comprehensive real-time reporting and a 360 degree view of all players.
iP: Intelligence Platform will help the Munich Ravens fulfil their ambition of becoming the leading data-driven team in the ELF. The partnership will also help enable the Ravens’ world class coaching and support team to maximize time spent with all players, including part-time players, by providing a singular platform for player health and performance that generates the analytics insights and actionable intelligence necessary to support both tactical and strategic decision-making.
“During our last season, we utilized the performance medical platform, which gave excellent insight into areas of vulnerability, while guiding toward a prevention specific focus as we prepared for weekly sessions and matches. Having all our medical data in one place is a massive help and makes access for all coaches possible. We are now very excited to also implement the intelligence platform to its full capacity as we approach the off- and preseason” said Divan Augustyn, Head of Medical, Munich Ravens.
“Having such professional analysis in a developing professional environment will certainly assist to optimise our training objectively and motivate both players and staff by giving them specific insight with performance profiles and providing value to each aspect of our planning, training, and execution. Ultimately, being better means raising the bar on how we prepare and use information, the Kitman Intelligence platform will be a great contributor for this goal of continuously improving and growing as an organisation.”
“We are thrilled to make our first move in the European League of Football with the Munich Ravens, one of the most forward-thinking and fastest growing European franchises in American Football. They are clearly a team with a clear mission to lead with innovation, technology and data science and we are excited to partner with them to help achieve those goals. The advanced analytics and actionable intelligence generated by iP will provide a level of objective decision-making capability not previously available to the Ravens- enabling coaches and practitioners to spend more time with their players – and less time interpreting data – than ever before” said Stephen Smith, CEO and Founder of Kitman Labs.
