Mobile Application Development for Better Coaching

Better Coaching is a Danish sports startup that offers a digital platform for football clubs to manage a complete training plan with individual programs, goals tracking, and communication center for sharing information between coaches and players. It helps the club coaches to plan, streamline and optimize the quality of the daily football training.

This was not our first projects with Better Coaching, as we were working on improving and expanding their web platform. This time the request was to develop a mobile application for coaches and club players that should offer all the main functionality of web platform on iOS and Android mobile devices to be accessible during training sessions.

Following visual guidelines provided by the client, we developed native mobile applications for iOS and Android that present core Better Coaching features in a native mobile environment.

The application functionality depends on user role who is logged in: a coach, or a player.

Application development involved modifications of the platform back-end, and existing API. Also, some new features were developed, like downloading of all the main platform data for offline mode which allows browsing training materials without internet connection.
