If you need deep data analytics / BI across multiple systems

If your priority is comparing across teams and sports using data from several different platforms, consider a BI layer rather than relying only on one sports platform:

• Tableau
• Power BI
• Looker
• Snowflake / BigQuery / Databricks as data warehouse backends

These let you unify data from Catapult, wellness tools, medical systems, video platforms, and match stats into a single comparison framework.

Key questions to ask before choosing

1. Which sports are you covering?
2. Do you need wearable, video, medical, or match-event data?
3. Do you need organization-wide benchmarking across teams?
4. Do you need API access or data export?
5. How much customization do you need?
6. Who will use it: coaches, S&C staff, analysts, clinicians, executives?

If you want, I can also give you:

• a comparison table by platform
• recommendations by budget
• recommendations by sport (soccer, basketball, rugby, etc.)
• or a shortlist of 3 platforms depending on your specific needs.
