CoachMate nominated for Tech Breakthrough Award at the 2024 Leaders in Sport Awards
We're thrilled to announce that we have been shortlisted for the prestigious 2024 Leaders in Sport Awards in the Tech Breakthrough category! This nomination places us among a select group of innovative companies making significant strides in the sports industry.
At CoachMate, our mission is simple: to help grassroots participants stay in the game by making it easier for coaches, teachers, volunteers, and caregivers to focus on what really matters - creating a positive experience so kids stay in the game.
Supporting grassroots sports: a game changer for coaches and teams
Grassroots sports are the heartbeat of many communities, yet they often face resource and challenges that prevent their ability to thrive. CoachMate was built to address this very problem. By offering a user-friendly platform for managing teams, practices, and communications, we've simplified the day-to-day operations for those running grassroots sports programs.
Driving value for sporting organisations
One of the most exciting aspects of CoachMate’s development is its growing value to sporting organisations and commercial partners. As our platform has evolved, it has become an essential tool for uncovering valuable data insights that were previously out of reach for grassroots sport. This data helps sporting organisations better understand their grassroots audience and identify seasonal trends within the coaching community. In turn, they can optimise their programs, improve engagement, and measure outcomes with greater accuracy.
Michelle Walshe, CEO of CoachMate, expressed her pride in the team's achievement and the vision behind the platform:
"Being shortlisted for these awards in the sports world is a fantastic validation of the great strides we’ve made in solving a global problem - making the job of coaching easier and more enjoyable."
"Grassroots coaches, managers, and volunteers have long been underserved by technology, and we wanted to change that by providing a platform that gives them world-class tools and more confidence. Ultimately, this ensures kids have better experiences while giving sporting organisations access to powerful data and insights that were previously impossible to obtain.”
