Real Racing Club Digitizes its Youth Division | OLIVER PRO

Real Racing Club, a historic Spanish club that plays in the Segunda División, is taking important steps in modernizing its youth academy. The Cantabrian club's commitment is to incorporate OLIVER PRO, an innovative Performance Analysis technology for Sports Performance.

What is OLIVER PRO?

OLIVER PRO is a tool that allows Real Racing Club's coaches, players, and fitness trainers to obtain accurate data on their players' performance. The technology is based on a GPS system and motion sensors (IMU) that record a large amount of data in each match and training session. Then, the Artificial Intelligence created by OLIVER SPORTS translates this data into valuable and easy-to-read information so that the coaching staff can make more objective and precise decisions.

Although it is not the only team that uses it, as more than 15 youth academies and more than 20 academies also choose this technology to enhance their young talents, it has become an emblematic case of success thanks to strategic work over time.
