Profiling. Programming. Progress Tracking.

As easy as 1-2-3 with Output Sports

As coaches, physios, and trainers, we know what it takes to do the job well:

✅ Understand the individual
✅ Build smart, tailored programmes
✅ Show they’re improving

When we get this right, everyone wins. The client or athlete gets closer to their goal. We build trust through transparency, refine our processes, and deliver results that earn us respect and repeat business.

But here’s the reality: most coaches know what they should be doing. The challenge is tying it all together. Testing often requires multiple tools. Programming lives on a separate system. Tracking progress means diving into spreadsheets and trying to make sense of scattered data.

It costs time, energy, and money.

That’s why we built Output differently. We wanted to create a one-stop solution to simplify and scale sports science. Here’s how profiling, programming, and progress tracking becomes as simple as 1-2-3.

1 — Profiling & Testing

Profiling means testing your client or athlete’s current capabilities. But how you do that depends entirely on who’s in front of you. A PGA Tour golfer, an NBA forward, and a general population client looking to build muscle won’t be doing the same assessment.

Output offers over 200 assessments, plus the ability to create your own custom tests. This flexibility gives you all the tools you need and is why Output is trusted by professionals across a wide range of environments, from elite sport teams across the world to private gyms and personal training studios. But we get it — it can feel overwhelming at first.

If you’re unsure where to start, we recommend following solid strength and conditioning or physio principles:

• Begin with the end in mind (what are they trying to achieve?)
• Reverse engineer from the goal (in order to achieve their goals, what do they need?)
• Choose assessments that are meaningful and actionable (what physical assessments correspond to what they need? For example, if they need acceleration, what assessments relate to acceleration? E.g a countermovement jump)

No matter who you’re working with, establishing a clear performance profile is key. It gives you objective data on where your client or athlete is, what their strengths and weaknesses are, and how best to move them forward.

2 — Programming

Once you've profiled your client or athlete, it's time to connect the dots and build the plan.

This is the fun part. You know where they are and where they want to go. Now it’s about choosing the right methods and making decisions around exercises, volumes, intensities, and progressions.

With Output, you can build and assign training sessions directly to clients or athletes and monitor their execution — all in one place.

In our recent article on velocity-based training, we broke down the four most common VBT strategies coaches use with Output, depending on their experience and their client or athlete's training age:

• Assigning training-specific velocity zones
• Using velocity loss cut-offs
• Autoregulating loads
• Tracking neuromuscular readiness

But programming isn’t just about what’s written — it’s about what gets done. And Output helps ensure your programme isn’t just completed, but completed with intent.

Real-time feedback keeps your clients or athletes on track, target zones ensure focus, and the data shows whether the effort matches the plan. For group sessions, leaderboards provide an extra layer of motivation and accountability. It’s coaching with a scoreboard — and it works.

3 — Progress Tracking

You’ve done the work: profiled your client or athlete, built the programme, and ensured it was completed with effort and intent.

Now comes the important question:

Is it working?

Traditionally, tracking progress meant retesting every 6–8 weeks, exporting data, fiddling with spreadsheets, and trying to turn numbers into insights. It worked — but it was time-consuming, and often not scalable.

With Output, it’s seamless. Every test, every session, and every set is automatically logged. All of it feeds into a custom dashboard and report that makes sense to both you and your clients or athletes.

You can quickly compare pre- and post-block data, track performance over time, and highlight trends across individuals or full squads. Whether you're working with 5 or 50, the system saves hours each week and gives you clarity you can act on.

It’s not just about collecting data. It’s about making that data work for you.

Output is More Than Just a Testing Tool

Yes, Output is a versatile testing platform, but that’s just one piece of the puzzle. What makes it powerful is how everything connects:

✅ Profile your clients or athletes to understand where they are
✅ Build and deliver personalised training programmes
✅ Track and visualise progress automatically

All from one device, in one system.

Output simplifies your workflow, cuts down on admin, and gives you more time to coach.
