Why should I log?
Success is no accident. It is hard work, perseverance, learning, studying, sacrifice and most of all, love of what you are doing or learning to do
— Pele
Benefits of Logging
Motivation
You can view your own reports, progression and look back at previous months and performances and see how you have improved and what you have accomplished. If you are going through a bad patch, you can look back and see if there is anything that triggered this relating to your training, readiness to train variables and matches
Accountability & Responsibility
You are taking ownership of your own data. You can see all your training and performance with your own personal comments as well as coach feedback.
Competition
Compete with yourself. How can you improve, what do you need to work on, see improvement and get that competitive edge. Your performance trends and patterns cannot be analysed unless you have recorded them.
Goals & Focus
Have a detailed history to look back on and help plan and organise. Knowledge of what you are doing and analysis of same brings focus to your development. Set your goals and have the courage to commit to achieving them.
Avoiding Injury/Burnout
Get to know your own body inside out; see what training loads you can cope with; avoid injury through learning from the system from your own personal data.
It has been shown that the athlete who keeps a training diary will come out on top because of the lessons learnt from past training sessions and competition performances
–Athletics Weekly

"We started using Metrifit to see if it gave us better predictability and allowed easier monitoring than our DIY excel sheets prior to the Tokyo qualifiers. In a sport where measuring training load is very difficult, Metrifit filled a huge gap in our ability to monitor our athletes’ performance state and recovery. After some months of collecting data I was able to clearly see when to back off and when to keep going with different aspects of the training programme, as well as when to provide extra care and support for our elite athlete – and without a doubt it is much more informative and sensitive than our DIY model, not to mention much easier! Looking forward to the next Olympic cycle with Metrifit as one of our essential tools."

"I wanted to reach out to thank Metrifit for an extremely successful season. Our Regis University women’s side won the ultra-competitive RMAC with a 11-0-1 record. Our student-athletes reported in post-season interviews the positive use of Metrifit that enabled their own reflection about their bodies and also found value providing information to coaches for our strategic planning purposes. On more than one occasion, we recognized deviations from norms and were able to step-in with a quick chat to help a player get back on track or refer her to the proper support personnel for further assistance. Fantastic! "

“I have been using Metrifit for the past number of years and I have found it to be an excellent piece of software. It is extremely easy to use and has proved very beneficial in preparing myself for competition. The ability to view my health and wellbeing stats everyday and see how this influences my performance in both practice and competition has been very helpful. I have been able to put more effort into key areas such as fluid intake, sleep and balanced golf practice and training. Having the ability to view my detailed stats helps me to understand exactly where I am and how I need to adjust my training or health choices. I have found using Metrifit this past year has been a crucial help for me to play well. As I now have turned 50 I am playing on The Champions tour in the USA and have played well during my first year. Metrifit has been as important as my golf equipment in achieving that success.”
