Empower every athlete with position-specific data that drives smarter coaching, clearer development paths, and stronger performance.
In today’s youth soccer landscape, expectations are higher than ever. Clubs are asked to develop technically sound players, implement a modern playing philosophy, and prepare athletes for the next level—often all at once.
At Hudl, we believe the answer is player empowerment.
“Power to the Players” is a shift in mindset. When players understand what success looks like at their position, they can take ownership of their growth. When coaches have consistent, position-specific insights, they can shape more effective training and give feedback with clarity and confidence. And when parents can see the full picture, it builds trust across the development pathway.
But it all starts with the individual athlete.
From Highlights to Habits—How Assist+ Fuels Development
By delivering high-quality, contextualized data automatically after every match, Assist+ gives players a clear picture of how their performance aligns with their role, their team’s style of play, and the modern demands of the game.
This isn’t just about counting stats—it’s about shaping habits.
Coaches are using these insights to design more targeted, position-specific sessions, to build individualized development plans (IDPs), and provide transparent feedback that players trust
The ability to measure technical quality or identify consistent off-ball movement in a possession-based system takes the guesswork out of development.
With Assist+, every player sees where they stand—and where they’re headed.
What Growth Looks Like, According to the Data
When development is personalized, progress becomes visible. Here’s how Assist+ positional metrics help define excellence across the pitch:
Goalkeepers hone sweeper keepers tendencies using defensive actions outside the box
Center Backs inspect receptions and passes to break pressure and understand composure
Outside backs monitor recoveries in wide areas to gauge transitional control
Wingers track take-ons and fouls suffered to become direct threats
Strikers see spatial awareness in the number of offsides or touches in the box

Whether it’s an academy midfielder at Norwegian super club Bodø/Glimt using Hudl and Hudl Sportscode or a U.S. club striker analyzed with Hudl Assist+, success is now measured by positional impact—not age or size.
A Club-Wide Culture Starts with the Right Tools
Player development doesn’t happen in silos. It’s not just about what happens at training—it’s about how clubs align across the board.
Assist+ makes alignment clear and simple.
Wearables, like Titan, are adding depth and context of performance data at every level of the game as well.
Titan's lightweight GPS trackers do more than capture data—they change behavior. When athletes know their effort is being tracked, intent shifts. Accountability goes up. Competition kicks in. With over 150 metrics, coaches can validate progress, guide recovery, and reinforce hard work with leaderboards and visual feedback that athletes take pride in.
Transform GPS data into visual, coach-ready feedback with Titan.
Every game is automatically broken down, every position tracked through relevant metrics, and every insight delivered in a format that’s easy for coaches and players to act on. That consistency powers development plans across age groups, sessions, and staff members.
The result? A performance culture where everyone—coach, parent, and player—knows what good looks like, and how to reach it.
Hudl’s mission in soccer is simple: give power to the players. That means putting the right information in the right hands—automatically, accurately, and consistently.
With Assist+ and positional metrics, we’re helping clubs move beyond intuition and into intentional development. Because when every player knows where they’re strong and where they can grow, the game changes.
