SyncState: Less admin. More time with your players.
I didn't become a fitness coach to chase forms.
Sending the Google Form. Reminding players on WhatsApp. Bringing the answers into Excel. Then putting together something useful for the coach.
I wanted to understand how my players were doing and use that information to help them. But keeping the whole process running could become a job in itself.
That experience is a big part of why we’re building SportSync Digital.
We want to make the knowledge we use as sports professionals easier to put into practice. With tools that fit the reality of the job, rather than adding another task to it.
That starts before the software. We map the process: how information is collected, who needs it, what they need to do with it, and where the extra work builds up. Then we look at what the tool can make simpler.
And wherever possible, we build around the tools people already use. With SyncState, that means sharing check-in links through WhatsApp and exporting organised information to Excel or PDF. You shouldn’t have to change everything about how you work just to use our app.
Today, I’m happy to introduce SyncState, our first app built around that approach.
It brings daily wellness, training load and player availability into one place. Players check in from their phones. Staff can see who has responded, who is unavailable, and whose responses suggest a conversation before training. And share that picture with the coach without pulling everything together again.
Less time moving information around. More time using it to work with your players.
I also wanted something a professional could start using without waiting for a club to buy a platform, and keep using when moving to another team. Something that could work for an individual professional and grow into a shared tool for the staff.
SyncState is available now as a web app you can add to your phone’s home screen:

We’re also testing the Google Play version. If you’d like to be an Android tester, send me a message.
I’m proud of the work our Digital team has put into this over the past months. It’s the first app in a longer-term project, and it puts something we care about into people’s hands.
But we need more than “looks good”.
Tell me exactly where it gets awkward, what is missing, or what you still have to do manually. If something breaks, message me. If it doesn’t fit how you work, I want to understand why.
That openness needs to stay part of how we build, well beyond this launch.
Try it. Then tell me: what works, what doesn’t, and what’s missing?
