Athlete Monitoring System
Measure. Compare. Decide.
Every athlete’s load, at a glance.
MarkerDrift compares every athlete against their own personal norm — GPS, session RPE, wellness, force plates — and answers in seconds, pitch-side, on a phone. It describes deviations. It does not predict injuries.
Unlimited athletes and staff users on every plan. 14 days to change your mind.

An athlete with no measurements says so — “no measurements”, never a zero.
How it works
Three steps. It does the third one.
No configuration before you see a number: the defaults are sensible and stated, and everything stays adjustable.
1
Upload any vendor’s file
Drop the CSV from your GPS, force plates or wellness form. MarkerDrift shows the columns it found, proposes the mapping onto metrics and remembers it for next time. Catapult today, another vendor tomorrow: the profile is saved.

Every athlete against themselves
A full-back runs twice as far as a centre-back, and a goalkeeper has nothing to do with either. That is why the reference is the personal norm: the athlete’s own band, computed on their history, not the team average.

Look at who needs looking at
Alerts fire only where load crosses wellness, jump performance or a return from absence. Few of them, with the numbers alongside and the reason written out. An alarm that always rings teaches you to ignore it.

A number never travels alone: the data that triggered it sits right next to it.
The microcycle
The same Tuesday can be an MD-4 or an MD+2
In football every day of the week has a different expected load. MarkerDrift compares each day with the same day of the previous cycles, not with the calendar.

Hover the bars: each day is compared with its counterpart.

Inside
Built by someone who used it on the pitch
Every screen answers a question a coach actually asks, and hides the rest until it is needed.
The load map
Athletes by days, load as colour intensity, a ring where a day leaves the personal norm. Readable in two seconds, standing up, with the sun on the screen.
The football week
MD-4, MD-3, MD-1, MD+1: comparisons are between matching days of the microcycle, not between one Tuesday and another. Labels written by staff always beat the calculation.
Cross-source alerts
Four configurable rules: load and wellness, load and jump, return with high load, worsening asymmetry. Every alert carries its numbers, and every rule that cannot be evaluated says so.
Reports and print
Athlete, team, comparison, matches: an Overview that answers and a lab that explores. Ready-made documents on one A4 sheet, method notes at the bottom.
Calendar and team notebook
Matches, sessions, attendance, minutes played, planned versus done. Staff notes on the day, never ending up on the charts.
Data that declares itself
A gap is not a rest day. A vendor change is a line on the chart. A goalkeeper never enters the outfield norm. Where it doesn’t know, it writes n/a.
What it calculates
The monitoring tools, with their limits written down
Not a shopping list: every entry also says where it stops working. Every analysis is configurable, and the defaults are declared.
Training load and trends
- Uncoupled 7:28 ACWR
- The two windows kept apart, moving average or EWMA, 80% minimum coverage. Absences are excluded, never zeroed.
- Monotony and strain
- Foster, on a rolling or calendar week. A standard deviation of zero: no ratio.
- Z-score against the personal norm
- Standard deviations from the athlete’s OWN history, day excluded from its baseline.
- Normal range band
- The edge of the band is where the colour changes. Window and threshold are written on the chart, never assumed.
- Planned versus actual
- Planned minutes and RPE on the session, against the real load. Not planned is not planned at zero.
- Field and gym
- How much load comes from where. A row with no session name is not «field»: it is counted apart.
Alerts and readiness
MD+1MD+2MD-4MD-3MD-2MD-1
- Cross-checks between sources
- Load with wellness, with jump, return, asymmetry: four rules, thresholds you set.
- Readiness traffic light
- One number with its contributions beside it. Not measured: a grey n/a, never green.
- Microcycle and matching MD
- Every day against the same day of the previous cycles: your own labels win.
- Radar and profile by compartment
- External, internal, wellness and strength on separate rings, never one axis.
Individual reference values
57%
61%
69%
- Maximum sprint speed and individual thresholds
- MSS from the data, thresholds per athlete, CSV table for your provider’s platform.
- Internal load from heart rate
- Edwards TRIMP, % of HRmax, reserve (Karvonen). An unmapped zone is not zero minutes.
- Internal-to-external load ratio
- How much the same work cost him today, against his own norm and not a table.
- Per-minute values
- Divided by the minutes actually tracked. Only on what adds up, and a day with no duration is a gap.
- Custom metrics
- Your formulas on the metrics you already have: metres per minute, ratios, windows.
Measurement quality
+4.2 cm
- noise
- real, but of no interest
- matters
- Typical error and smallest detectable change
- From the repeated CMJ trials: below that number two measurements are not different.
- The change worth looking at
- The threshold below which a real difference is of no interest. Never a probability.
- Asymmetry from force plates
- Threshold from your own squad, not the ±10% that never fires on healthy players.
- Metrics that say the same thing
- Correlation WITHIN the athlete: which columns you read twice without knowing it.
Squad, matches and injuries
117%
109%
109%
107%
- Percentage of match demand
- Each against HIS OWN typical match, the median of his games: never the squad mean.
- Minutes played and per-90
- From the match report or GPS, stating which. Bench is zero, unavailable an absence.
- Return to play pathway
- Four domains against how he was before. No single score, no “fit to play”.
- Availability, incidence and burden
- Consensus standard, training and match kept apart. Without measured hours: n/a.
Every number comes with the raw data behind it. Where the calculation cannot be made, MarkerDrift writes n/a and says why: “I could not look” is not “everything is fine”.
Who it’s for
Three jobs, one question
Built for the football club and the academy, and still sized for the strength and conditioning coach working alone: S&C staff, sport scientists and medics read the same numbers, each with their own permissions.
The strength and conditioning coach
One team, the GPS file in the evening, the spreadsheet that never balances. Here the file goes in within a minute and the answer arrives before the next session.
Luca Ferri54,334 mLoad · 7 days
An athlete’s card “I stop keeping the spreadsheet at night.”
The club
First team and staff: coach, head coach, doctor. Distinct roles and permissions, health data seen only by those who must, and every decision with the numbers beside it to be defended.
diagnosis absence dates load and wellness Medical ● ● ● Coach — ● ● Player — — — Who sees what “My choices hold up in front of the head coach and the doctor.”
The organisation and the academy
Eight teams speaking the same language, athletes moving up a category without losing their history, parental consent recorded and verifiable.
Prima squadraU19U17Three teams, one yardstick “Eight teams, one yardstick.”
The three things others don’t say
An honest instrument is worth more
Anyone evaluating a monitoring system knows that prediction promises do not hold. MarkerDrift makes none, and says so inside the product, not in the terms of service.
It does not predict injuries
No risk score, no “fit to play”. Only deviations from the individual norm, trends, and the phrase “worth a look”. Interpretation stays with the qualified practitioner, and the panel says so.
Reads any vendor, and declares the change
Columns are mapped, profiles are saved. When the vendor or its software version changes, a line appears on the chart: the numbers before and after are not the same thing, and hiding it would be lying.
Compliant from day one
Minors’ consent recorded as events. Health data accessed on a need-to-know basis, with a read log. Export and deletion of an athlete in one click. Retention periods decided, not deferred.
“The system does not predict. It describes. The person on the touchline decides.”
Nine languages, one staff
Everyone picks their own; the club sets the default. Metric names stay as they are in the file: they are data, not interface.

Plans
You pay per team, not per person
Charging per account pushes clubs to share a password, and a shared password breaks the access log and traceability. Here staff accounts are unlimited on every plan.

If it is not for you
You have 14 days to ask for a full refund, with no reason to give. It is a commercial guarantee we grant, written into the terms of service: it is not the consumer right of withdrawal, which does not apply to someone buying for their own business.
If a payment does not arrive
There are 60 days of read-only access: everything can still be read and exported, nothing new can be loaded. No automatic deletion, ever.
No feature behind a pricier tier. No cap on history: personal norms are computed on 28–120 day windows, and cutting them would produce wrong numbers without saying so.
Before you decide
Frequently asked questions
Does it work with my GPS?
Yes, if it exports a CSV: Catapult, STATSports, K-Sport, GPEXE and any other. Columns are mapped once, the profile is saved. No connector needed, and no “preset” vendors.
Does it predict injuries?
No, and it says so inside the product. It shows deviations from the personal norm, trends and reading alerts. Interpretation stays with the qualified practitioner: a system that “predicts” would be a medical device, and this is not one.
Where is the data kept?
In the privacy notice, provider by provider: that is where the answer is precise and stays current. What matters here is the rest: wellness, injuries and force plates are health data, so need-to-know access, a read log, export and deletion of an athlete in one click, minors’ consent recorded.
How long does it take to get started?
One afternoon: the squad from CSV, the first GPS file, the season dates and the matches in the calendar. We do the first onboarding together.
What if I change vendor mid-season?
The history stays, the new file is mapped onto the same list of metrics, and a line appears on the charts on the day of the change: the numbers before and after are not the same thing, and the system doesn’t pretend they are.
I run a youth academy: what about minors?
Consent from whoever holds parental responsibility is recorded as an event, with date and privacy-notice version, and can be verified. A player moving up a category doesn’t lose their history.
How many users can I have?
As many as you need: S&C coach, head coach, doctor, sport scientist, each with their own role and permissions. You don’t pay per account, because charging per account pushes people to share a password.
How much does it cost?
You pay for teams, not for people: €39 a month for one team, €79 for a club, and a quote for a whole organisation or a federation. A year costs 10 months. Athletes and staff users are unlimited on every plan, and you have 14 days to ask for a refund.
How do I collect wellness?
Every athlete gets a personal link — also as a QR code to forward in the team chat — that opens the morning questionnaire on their phone, nothing to install. The scale is the one you declare, the total adds itself up, and the answers go straight into the calculations.
Do I need to install anything?
No: it runs in the browser, phone at the pitch included, and can be added to the home screen like an app. Athlete data is never stored on the device.
