Crowdfunding since 2010

Hat nicht jede/r Athlet/in die Chance verdient, den Traum vom Profisport in die Realität umzusetzen? Die Talente von heute sind die Profis von morgen.

Have you ever dreamed of becoming a professional athlete? For many young athletes, this dream ends in the course of their career: In the stressful daily training routine, they don't get the support they need to reach their full potential. With Coachwhisperer, we want to create the best possible conditions for every talent to achieve their athletic dreams and goals. With your support, you help us realize this vision in youth and grassroots sports.

What is this project all about?

Imagine you are a coach or an athlete and your everyday life looks like this: The coach screams his head off, but the players only understand what he is saying. The training has to be interrupted so that everyone understands the coach's instructions. One player is unable to perform the exercise as required and the coach criticizes him/her in front of the assembled team. To make matters worse, the strict training schedule could not be followed due to the constant interruptions. Therefore, many coaches lack the time to promote all athletes as they deserve. Especially in the children's and youth area, individual support is essential, as the foundation for further development is laid in this age group.

Coachwhisperer addresses these problems with an all-in-one system consisting of live communication and monitoring. Coach and athlete are connected through our hearable or sound vest. Through our iPad app, the coach can choose which athletes they want to communicate with. The Hearable can also capture their health status live.
Our system is characterized by

  • Addressing individual players, groups, and the entire team across the training field,
  • A flawless acoustic perception (unlike, for example, a helmet in football),
  • An unrestricted movement,
  • An integrated training planning with training catalog and opponent simulation.

What is the project goal and who is the project for?

We want to take all trainers and athletes to the next level. Help us realize this vision so that everyone can benefit from an optimal training experience.

We want to help coaches from all levels of performance and age, as well as all sports, who want to

  • want to optimize the training session process,
  • want to exploit the full potential of athletes,
  • want to revolutionize the feedback culture in training operations,
  • want to support athletes mentally through individual coaching,
  • want to increase the stamina and motivation of their athletes.

In addition, we address athletes from all performance and age levels as well as all sports, who want to

  • want to get the best possible out of themselves,
  • want to train like the pros,
  • want to maximize their training time,
  • want to improve their relationship with the trainer through optimized communication

.

Why would you support this project?

We have made it our mission to revolutionize training and thus focus on the development of athletes. Every athlete is different and deserves to be individually supported.

We are looking for supporters who

  • want to be part of the technological progress in sports,
  • want to help provide optimized training in all sports and youth sports,
  • want to join us in developing athletes and coaches in smaller sports,
  • want to help ensure that children and youth athletes get the attention they deserve,
  • want to ensure that talent can be cared for in the best possible way.

How will we use the money if the project is successfully funded?

Our product development is already completed to the extent that we can test with the first clubs.

In order to be able to offer our system in soccer for every age and performance level, we need 20.000€ for a serial production.

With this, we can cover the necessary hardware and personnel costs for pure production, as well as conduct extensive usability testing. In this way, we want to ensure that the operation of our system is also intuitive for trainers who have less experience with tracking and monitoring systems.

However, in order to make our productaccessible to all athletes and coaches beyond soccer, we need 35,000€ to enable an adaptation of our system in this size. This adaptation comes with some challenges.

These include technical adjustments, revisions in the design and code of the iPad app. In addition, hardware and personnel costs must be covered here as well.

Who are the people behind the project?

Captain Philipp Zacher and his co-captains Julien Then and Hendrik Thiedke impress with their expertise in sports science, IT and engineering. Our fifteen-strong team is made up of talents from sports management, marketing, business development, IT and electrical engineering. Our young and motivated team helps us every day to realize our vision.

With our individualized product for professional sports, we were already able to convince the Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Energy (BMWi), who awarded us the EXIST Gründerstipendium. In addition, we were able to win both Thuringia's largest technology competition (getstarted2gether) and the Karl Kolle Award for the best tech startup in Central Germany. Our personal highlight so far: At the SportsInnovation trade fair in Düsseldorf, Mike Hanke demonstrated our sound vests live with his U19 team from Borussia Mönchengladbach in front of an audience of various sports industry leaders.

Wir gehen in die Verlängerung!
Aufgrund der Urlaubszeit, die sich durch unsere gesamte Kampagnenlaufzeit gezogen hat kommt unsere Kampagne erst jetzt so richtig ins Rollen. Deshalb haben wir uns dazu entschieden, die Kampagne noch in den September hinein zu verlängern! Es wäre sehr schade, wenn wir unser Ziel aus diesem Grund nicht erreichen. Jetzt spielen wir den Ball zurück an euch: Teilt die Kampagne und unterstützt uns nochmal kräftig, damit wir zum Schlusspfiff gemeinsam jubeln können!
