GoalMax Hub and Software

The GoalMax Hub serves as the core of the GoalMax solution,
providing the GoalMax-WIFI network and collecting live data and
post-practice data. It also performs the backfilling process on
data to ensure comprehensive analysis. Users can connect to the
GoalMax Hub through the GoalMax app for live data monitoring and
post-practice summary. The GoalMax software is designed for
coaches, offering data-driven analytics, dashboards, reports, and
KPIs for optimizing player performance based on real-time data.

The main objective of the GoalMax Flow is to provide field
soccer players with a position tracking system that includes
on-field positioning, distance traveled during training sessions,
and a second-by-second heart rate monitor. By monitoring individual
player movements, the device gathers data to determine if players
are maximizing their performance.

· Overview
GoalMax Flow wearable tracker is a multi-sensor solution developed for performance determination of individual players or whole team sports. The GoalMax Flow solution hardware, components, and software will be explained in this document. GoalMax Flow sends live data of the player and device statuses over the GoalMax-WIFI network to the GoalMax Hub. Besides sending live data, the device stores this data in its memory and sends it later after practice ends. The GoalMax Hub collects live data from all devices, and then after practice ends the collected data is uploaded to the GoalMax cloud over an internet connection, and any missed data is backfilled via data stored on the Teams device. Users can access live data monitoring using the mobile/tablet GoalMax app over the GoalMax-WIFI network.

· GoalMax software
GoalMax software is individualized Data-driven software developed for coaches to optimize every aspect of player performance. Built-in analytics that present data, charts, and KPIs in dashboards and reports provide quick access to real-time, actionable KPIs and educated decisions based on data.
The main objective is to produce a position tracking system for field soccer players to provide their on-field positioning, with a data map and the distance they move during a training session, including a second-by-second heart rate monitor. Through monitoring the exact movement of an individual player on the field, data can be gathered to determine whether the player is maximizing his or her performance.
During a training session or game, each player will have a location recognition device attached to a specially designed wearable vest. After the session, the software can then provide a data map of all the players indicating where each player was located over the course of their particular play. In higher-level competitions and professional soccer, having this clear-cut data can be the difference between a win and a loss as coaches can better match players’ strengths to their position, it comes through three main applications:
CloudMax Application CloudMax Application provides advanced tools for managing the team’s technical, medical, and administrative staff, managing games and training sessions schedule, Club field and its locations, managing players, and

GoalMax Hub has GSM global coverage to ensure connection to the internet everywhere whatever country you game in.
Meanwhile, powerful data analysis can assist managers and coaches to summarize the behavior pattern of each player and his or her position on the team. With statistics regarding each player, calculated predictions can be made and an individual’s weaknesses can be identified. Having specific data allows coaches to come up with precise strategies for individual athletes to improve themselves, as well as game plans to maximize the strength of the team to counter their opponents.
GoalMax mobile application in turn provides real-time summary analytics during a session. As soon as a session ends, it automatically syncs the data to the cloud for deeper reporting and analytics. So, the end users can monitor the players’ performance, compare, and identify historical trends, better manage player load and recovery, and identify players’ injury risk.
In addition, it allows the players and coaches to easily visualize the data to gain insights into the performances, make informed decisions, and predict future events.
