Kitman Labs adds dashboards

Kitman Labs has added a new layer of dashboards to its performance software, and the pitch is simple: stop making training and selection decisions by jumping between separate reports. The company says its new Performance Management Dashboards pull game-week reporting, squad trends, and player-level insights into one view inside its Intelligence Platform. (kitmanlabs.com) That sounds like a small product update, but it sits right in the middle of how modern teams actually work. A football club or basketball team can collect training load, wellness check-ins, match minutes, gym outputs, and recovery notes all week long, but those numbers are only useful if coaches and performance staff can see them together before they set the next session. (kitmanlabs.com) The problem these systems are trying to solve is fragmentation. One staff member may track running volume from wearable devices, another may log soreness and sleep scores, and another may manage return-to-play notes after injury, which leaves decision-makers stitching together a picture from different tools and spreadsheets. (kitmanlabs.com) Kitman Labs has spent years selling itself as the fix for that sprawl. On its main platform pages, the company describes its product as an all-in-one Intelligence Platform that combines training, game, gym, testing, medical, and operational data so staff can work from a shared record instead of departmental silos. (kitmanlabs.com) The new dashboard release pushes that idea closer to the daily workflow of a performance analyst. In Kitman Labs’ own description, the dashboards are built for workload reporting and use data already stored in the platform to give teams quicker views of training load, game context, and the microcycle, which is the short training block around a match. (kitmanlabs.com) That “microcycle” detail matters because most elite team-sport planning happens on a rolling weekly rhythm. Staff are not only asking whether a player is fit in the abstract; they are asking whether that player can handle today’s session, recover in time for the weekend, or absorb extra work without tipping into overload. (kitmanlabs.com) Kitman Labs says the new view combines three layers that are usually split apart. Game-week reporting gives staff the schedule-level picture, squad trends show patterns across the roster, and player insights let them drill down to one athlete when a coach asks why a workload recommendation changed. (kitmanlabs.com) This is also a story about software design, not just sports science. Teams already had much of this data, but the bottleneck was often the analyst who had to pull numbers into a custom report before every training meeting, so a dashboard that updates inside the same platform can shift work from manual assembly to faster review. (kitmanlabs.com) Kitman Labs is not pitching this as a standalone gadget. The company’s broader product line already includes performance optimization, performance medicine, coaching and development, and league operations, which means the dashboard is being added to a larger commercial stack rather than sold as a single-purpose charting tool. (kitmanlabs.com) That larger stack has been gaining institutional buyers. The Premier League announced in 2023 that its academy system would use a Kitman Labs football intelligence platform for player pathway management and reporting, and the United Football League launched a Kitman Labs performance medicine solution in 2024 for league-wide medical data collection and analysis. (premierleague.com) (theufl.com) So the dashboard launch is less about inventing a new category than tightening the grip of an existing one. The more clubs and leagues store medical, training, and readiness information inside one vendor’s system, the more that vendor shapes the daily questions staff ask, the reports they trust, and the pace at which decisions get made. (kitmanlabs.com 1) (kitmanlabs.com 2) In practice, that means a coach deciding whether to start a player after a heavy week may increasingly be looking at a commercial software view rather than a hand-built spreadsheet from one analyst. Kitman Labs’ new dashboards are a product update on paper, but they also show how much of modern performance work now happens inside the interface of a platform company. (kitmanlabs.com)
