The Challenge

HNS-licensed coaches had no platform that kept up with their needs

Coaches training clubs and youth categories under Croatia's football federation relied on paper, spreadsheets and a single existing platform whose usage was visibly declining. There was no modern, purpose-built tool to plan trainings, track player development and prepare for matches in one place.

Training plans, exercises and tactics lived on paper or in disconnected files

No structured, historical record of player fitness and skill tests

The one existing competitor platform showed declining engagement, with clear feature gaps

Coaches needed printable outputs for pitch-side use, not just an on-screen tool

Our Solution

A single platform for planning, testing and match preparation

We researched the competitive landscape, then built Coach2Coach from the ground up: a training planner tied to a calendar and exercise library, a tactical drawing tool, individual player cards with skill and fitness testing, team and club management, and print-ready exports for every module.

Training planner & calendar

Coaches build session plans from an exercise library and schedule them on a monthly or weekly calendar per team.

Player testing & skill tracking

Functional, motor, strength, FMS and technical tests are recorded per player, individually or in groups, with historical tracking.

Tactical drawing tools

Coaches draw and save formations, drills and tactical setups directly on a pitch canvas.

Print-ready exports

Training plans, test results, match preparation and analysis all export to print-ready output for pitch-side use.

What changed

How training management changed for coaches

Planning and tracking moved from paper and a declining incumbent tool into one platform coaches run themselves, from training day to match day.

Training plans

Before

Paper notebooks / spreadsheets

After

Calendar-based planner with an exercise library

Every session is planned, saved and reusable, not rewritten from scratch.

Player testing

Before

Ad-hoc, no historical record

After

Structured tests with per-player history

Coaches see development over time, not just a single snapshot.

Tactical planning

Before

Whiteboard / hand-drawn

After

Saved, reusable digital drawings

Tactics are documented and shareable, not erased after use.

Platform choice

Before

Single ageing incumbent, usage declining

After

Purpose-built alternative for HNS-licensed coaches

Built directly against the gaps competitive research uncovered.

I used to rebuild the same training plan from a notebook every week and test players without ever comparing this month to last month. Now I plan a session in minutes, and every test result is right there on the player's card.
