You are amazing

In the first three months of this year you have:

Watched over 1,000,000 drills
Created over 25,000 sessions plans
Drawn over 8,000 sketches

With more videos being added regularly we're hoping to reach 5,000,000 drill views before the year is out!

How did we get here?

So how did we reach this landmark? That's a lot drills being watched in just 3 months. Well it all started with an email in early 2013 from a frustrated Sportplan user:

Where are the new drills?

This had us scratching our heads. We had been adding new coaching materials but for some reason coaches weren't watching them.

Maybe it was because the site displayed poorly on mobile phones - whatever it was we realised we needed to do something about it - something drastic.

That's why we went and completely rebuilt Sportplan - making it easier for coaches to find the new plans and coaching videos, as well as making the site fully mobile friendly (good news for Apple and Android users!)

Sportplan: Old site vs New site

With a new and faster website you could access from anywhere we believed it would be easier for coaches to find new drills. Well that was the hypothesis - and it looks like you agree, with more coaches than ever before accessing Sportplan using their phones and tablets

So what's next?

For our advanced users we've already added some extra features such as photo upload and improved shared folders - and we've got some really exciting developments lined up (we'll announce these soon on this blog).

Sportplan: Full steam ahead!

We're continuing to work with coaches from around to globe to keep bringing you the most up to date videos and complete training plans, so watch this space - 2014 is shaping up to be a big year for Sportplan!

Let us know how we're doing; we love to hear what you think we have missed and/or could do better. To send us your feedback, good or bad go to the feedback page.
