What teams say about SPT.

Coaches, sport scientists and players — in their own words.

While using the SPT GPS data trackers we can monitor our athlete’s loads throughout our training sessions over the week to prescribe the right amount of volume to which our athletes can continue to train hard without the risk of injury or overtraining. 

We also can identify which athletes need more or less volume based on the athlete’s ability to reach certain velocities/speed which determines the overall physical condition or cardiovascular capacity to train more frequently at those higher speeds. 

This system has become a game-changer for our performance staff to prepare our athletes for the demands of competition within their sports and their overall successful outcome, by the management of those workloads and further pushing the athlete’s physical development.

Adding the SPT GPS technology to our program it has added another dimension to the way we coach. The coaches and student athletes can monitor the on-field metrics and helps us plan in terms of periodization. Since the start, the SPT staff were always an email or phone call away which was really helpful if we needed any advice in the early stages.


The interface on the website was simple to use and a lot more user friendly than other GPS systems we have used in the past. Overall, I would recommend SPT to any soccer program if they want to go to the next level.

We are really enjoying the SPT platform and data because it gives us the data we need, not the 50 other metrics we don’t. Plus players actually understand the data. Creating custom high speed running zones has also been huge for our program.

SPT offers us a unique avenue to elevate our program from good to great. By employing SPT GPS we will be able to appreciate and evaluate our players contributions to training and matches in the highest detail, make adjustments to training cycles to truly tailor them to the roles with our system of play and create tangible growth pathways and so maximise the development for each athlete across their tenure at Boise State. 

SPT will become an integral component to us maintaining a championship program and stepping into contention for a national championship.

As a highly competitive Division I program, we are always striving to be at the top of the league and to get the most out of our players. SPT was extremely instrumental in helping us manage our players and providing us with information to help us make informed decisions.

In addition, the easy to use software and data helped give us a well rounded picture of players, practices, and games. SPT is a great resource for any program looking to be more effective and efficient.

SPT has been a terrific way for our program to better execute player daily and weekly loads and maximize individual performance.

It has been integral to our training periodization, recovery, and overall fitness. Even though we have only been using the system for a year, we already feel like we have gathered a lot of important data and information. We are excited to continue using it in the coming years to longitudinally track the progress and evolution of our program.

The hardware is high quality and durable, and the software is user friendly and easy to navigate. There is a lot of quality data that comes out of each session, but not so much that it is overwhelming. Any staff member or player can quickly gather the relevant information they need from the data, without being overwhelmed by it.

It is also the most cost-effective product on the market, with a high quality support staff who is always willing to help. We couldn’t recommend SPT enough!

FIU made the decision to switch to SPT from a major GPS tracking company [Catapult] to SPT because we felt that SPT was designed for coaches. SPT has simplified the periodization process and allowed us to take our athlete’s development to another level.

There’s a strong correlation between the programs that use these and winning because they’re managing athletes correctly. So, if you have the technology to track, you can manage your athletes better and keep them healthy and they peak at the right time.

SPT GPS has made us a better football team by providing pivotal data when tracking training load of our football athletes.  It brings important data every day on our athletes’ performance that is unique to our program.

We've had a very good experience working with SPT's technology. From the very beginning the staff at SPT has been very involved and helpful through the experimentation stages for me.

This has been a wonderful season thus far using our SPT GPS tracking devices. Very simple and easy to use and apply data on a daily basis.

The SPT GPS trackers are an excellent tool for measuring your top athletes against the rest of the players. Players can be held accountable for not giving maximum effort.

Psychologically, the players react positively when they turn their tracker on and go to work. They know they’re being tracked so they give that little extra effort.
SPT GPS has definitely aided our team’s development and took us up another level. It was also a great learning tool for the staff that aids in practice and game planning and decisions.

Barry Beattie

In season 2019 at Jefferson we had zero soft tissue injuries as the data we received helped us rotate and roster and keep everyone healthy. It was also used as a tool to help motivate the players when they compared their data to one another. It created a very competitive training environment.

Our athletes were excited and proud that they had a resource that professional players had access to and it certainly lifted the morale and intensity at every session.

I believe that by using SPT GPS units, it has certainly raised the bar. When players check out the GameTraka and see their results they get fired up!!

Highly recommend that if you have a modest budget that you look at purchasing these cost-effective units for your program.

It certainly has had a huge impact on our program.

The West Virginia Wesleyan Men's Soccer Team is in its' second year with the SPT Program and the amount of information that is provided has been a tremendous benefit to our athletes!

The players are so enthusiastic about the data provided and are now even more result driven to improve themselves.

At the University of Dallas we have been looking forward to using this technology for some time.  William Spearman (Liverpool FC) and Joe Pelletier (US Olympic Committee) are UD alumni who are the top of the analytics field and I have been consulting with them on how to best use the data.

Joe in particular is excited to see the results as he acts as our MSOC Director of Analytics as a side project.

We use this data to help our players train and play better. The trackers are also great assets for injury prevention and recovery for our players.

We decided to start using the SPT GPS tracking system to provide us with the means to efficiently plan better training sessions, manage injuries and give us an edge in game.

SPT provides those abilities with affordability and an analysis platform with no subscription necessary. Exactly what our program was looking for.

I have been using SPT for the past 3 years and it has been brilliant to support the players and the coaching staff alike in a multitude of areas. Development of sessions, managing workloads, and game analysis to name a few.

It’s a key decision-making tool as well as a motivator for the players. It assists the coaching staff to individually assess player performance and provide evidence-based feedback to the players, enhancing their development and engagement in themselves and the game.

The real-time and post training/game feedback of the SPT program has helped us make in-game adjustments, design and implement sessions, and alter individual training or recovery days.

The college soccer schedule is a compressed format of trainings, games, and travel that can be gruelling on the body. The physical demands of this type of season on our players can put them at risk of injury if not monitored correctly.

The SPT program gives our coaches, staff, and athletic trainers the ability to access and evaluate each players’ daily workload to ensure their health and safety. In addition, the user friendly app and platform allows our players to access, understand, and comprehend their own data for accountability and self-monitoring purposes.

The GameTraka program has been like an extra assistant coach and we are excited to continue our partnership with SPT.

I’ve found SPT to be easy to use and easy to integrate into our weekly training program.  

A big challenge for any coach is to match data with a coach’s own instinct or “smell test.”  Our GPS and GameTraka software make this process transparent and easy to apply on a player by player basis.

With the way the High School Soccer calendar has changed over the years, the health of the athlete throughout the season has become paramount. At Newport Harbor we were looking for ways to make sure our athletes were staying healthy while being able to reach peak performance on game day.

SPT sports tracking system was a way to be able to give us the data we needed to reach our goal of Health vs. Performance. The data we received about each individual player after every training session and match gave us the direction and knowledge we required to make decision about the team. SPT's data helped us plan training sessions in regards to intensity and athlete load.

During matches, our starting line ups and substitutions were based upon the information the tracking devices gave us about each player. During the season that we used the SPT tracking system we had no soft tissue injuries and no season ending injuries. 

After every training session and match the players always asked when the data would be uploaded as the software gave immediate feed back to each individual player. SPT provides so much data the players bought in because the data is specific and useful for their own knowledge. 

For any team looking for an edge or to simply keep their athletes healthy through injury prevention; the SPT tracking devices and software will provide everything a coaching staff will need to reach those goals.

Before SPT, we were using another top company for the past 5 years but once we saw what SPT had to offer it was hard to turn down SPT’s superior device. It is the least invasive for our athletes and provides all of the necessary data we are looking for and gives our program an advantage over other teams.

SPT provides us real time data to be able to adjust what we need to stay ahead of the game. We were able to successfully manage and inform our players of the data we were collecting. I definitely recommend SPT to other top level coaches who want to use data driven methods to win.

This year we completed our 7th consecutive Trinity League Championship and won the CIF Southern Section Division 1 Championship. We also competed in the toughest schedule in the country. SPT provided us the information we needed to be able to prepare to win. THANK YOU!

Having the SPT units has driven data led analysis of our programming. The Chronic/Acute work Ratio is measured and assessed in ways that was simply not possible without the units.

SPT deliver simple and easy to use hardware and software. I have been able to pass the reporting tasks on to Club Interns with limited experience and they have found the product straightforward to use. Time and cost effective.

SPT is driving our athletes to strive for productivity each and every minute of training. The shift in their work ethic has been pleasing.

With the rigors of a college soccer season, the SPT program has given us the ability to accurately assess the demands on our athletes and ensure that we are measuring their workloads accurately on a daily basis.

This program allows us to give our athletes some great information that directly impacts their output on the field with a user-friendly format they can access from their phone. SPT has been an enormous benefit to both the staff and the athletes at North Dakota Soccer!

This season we’ve been using the SPT platform for GPS data on all the players. It’s been an invaluable tool for Galway Football Club. 

We've been able to create a pattern for the season on each of the players and with the data, we can see when a player may have an off day or dip in performance.

For the players, the SPT’s have brought a bit of competition to the group and they see how they can get the most out of each other. It definitely has put the standards of the team higher.
