Catapult announced the launch of Vector Core, an intuitive, user-friendly, and highly effective athlete monitoring solution that provides teams with limited resources the data and insights previously only accessible to advanced teams. By leveraging the elite-level accuracy of Catapult's Vector system, Vector Core has been designed to deliver a comprehensive set of live metrics and post-session analysis in a user-friendly platform. These data and insights help teams make informed decisions to improve athlete performance, reduce the risk of preventable injuries, and help injured athletes recover faster. The key features of the Vector Core system that will accelerate adoption include: Simplified load management metrics - Catapult has taken the key metrics used by the leading professional teams and focused them down to a streamlined set of simplified metrics that easily inform player performance and health decisions.

Ability to work from anywhere - The new cloud-based experience allows teams to manage data, insights, and all editing in the cloud, enabling coaches to work across different devices and locations seamlessly. Instant upload & automatic data collection - Teams will not have to manually download their data after a session. As soon as devices are connected to the dock the athlete data is uploaded to the Cloud for a faster, simplified experience.

Large organizations with multiple levels of teams will also benefit significantly from Vector Core. Previously these organizations have had to manage siloed data sets and disparate platforms for each of their teams, making it difficult to track an individual athlete's progression. With Vector Core, large organizations now have a solution to easily manage and evaluate athlete data and insights for each of their teams in one view, from Academy levels to the First Team.

Iceland's Valur FC will also be an innovation partner for Catapult Vector Core to ensure new features added to the solution's development roadmap are closely aligned to customer needs unique to this market. The launch of Vector Core is the second Performance & Health innovation to debut from the company in the last 90 days. Vector T7, which was developed specifically for indoor sports, came to market during the NCAA March Madness basketball tournament with teams including Duke University men's basketball and University of Georgia women's basketball as early users.
