Brighton debut brand new software for training sessions – by former PSG star

During training, Fabian Hurzeler can deliver messages directly to his players during the training after Brighton has purchased a revolutionary new equipment, supported by ex-Germany International Julian Draxler.

Brighton has purchased live communication software, worth around £ 35,000, which they think can considerably change the quality of sessions that has been applied.

It is understood that the seagulls are the first English club to use the 'Coach Whisperer' product, which has also been demonstrated in recent months in Aston Villa and Liverpool.

During the training, players wear a vest with a small bag at the back to fit a discreet speaker. Instead of screaming instructions about a pitch, the staff talk in a microphone, which developers are insisting that potential crossed threads and confusion reduce.

Hurzeler can use an app to choose the team members with whom he wants to speak at any time – and communicate with team units, such as a back four, at the same time during an exercise.

The progressive 32-year-old has the option to break all language barriers with the kit, with AI software, which means that his feedback can be translated immediately into the mother tongue of a player.

Coach whisperer, a German company, says that they can also give coaches feedback about their behavior by taking sessions and analyzing the levels of carrot or used stick.

The recording is split into five categories – organizational instructions, tactical instructions, correction/criticism, motivation/encouragement and technical instructions – to give a coach a true idea of ​​their style and emotional tone they portray to their team.

Draxler, the former attacker of Paris Saint-Germain who is currently at Al-Ahli in Qatar, invested in the project two years ago. “It saves valuable time and optimizes learning on the field,” he said.

The bosses of the company recently gave presentations at a Premier League Academy Forum in Nottingham.

Top flight clubs all strive to make training more efficient, with Thomas Kruckas Krucks, director of Manchester City Academy, told earlier this year that they are working on introducing two meters of screens on touchlines to give faster, live feedback during exercises.
