Tampa Year 3: Lab-Quality Insights, On the Pitch
In Year 3, WorkRate and Flex Soccer scaled the system into a full-stack, wearable-powered platform. Garmin devices delivered real-time insights into running mechanics, sleep, and heart rate variability. RET diagnostics captured fatigue and form breakdown mid-session, and conditioning sessions were delivered directly to athletes’ watches. The result: smarter training, owned by athletes, informed by data, and refined by three seasons of feedback.
Tampa Year 2: When Systems Take Root
WorkRate’s return to Flex Soccer in 2023 launched ESPP23: a fully embedded system of diagnostics, autonomy training, and performance feedback. Sprint tests became self-assessment tools, warm-ups were led by captains, and gait training shifted to speaker-based cueing. With real-time heart rate data and stress-based scheduling, training became individualized. Athletes didn’t just follow the system—they became part of it.
Tampa Year 1: Turning the Field into a Lab
In its first full-season pilot with Flex Soccer, WorkRate introduced field-ready diagnostics to a youth soccer environment. Players used self-guided movement screens, sprint testing, and headphone-based gait training to improve mobility, speed, and running mechanics. The result: measurable performance gains, rising athlete autonomy, and proof that grassroots players can handle elite-level systems—when tools are built right.
Field Notes from the First WorkRate Pilot
WorkRate’s first pilot blended biomechanics and breathwork in real time—tracking live improvements from NYC to Sydney. Data-driven change, measured on the track, confirmed in minutes.
