Month 1: Build

Strength and positions: the base your pace sits on.

Month 2: Adapt

Sprints, jumps and Run and Gun turn the strength into speed.

Month 3: Peak

Less volume, more speed: sharp for match day.

Questions

Do I need special equipment?
No. A phone that films slow motion. A tripod or a steady surface helps.
How long does a report take?
Within 24 hours of uploading, usually much sooner. We email you when it is ready.
What is the difference between the two analyses?
Performance Analysis is filmed side-on and reads your speed and technique. The Injury Scan is filmed from behind and scores how your back is loaded. Each uses one analysis.
Does it track line and length?
No. Pitchwolf reads your action: your body, your speed and your injury risk. It does not track where the ball pitches.
How often should I re-test?
About once a month. Each check shows what moved and sets up your next month of training.
Is the Injury Scan a medical test?
No. It is a screening tool that flags loading patterns worth watching. If something hurts, see a physio.
