LAEB Wearable

Overview

The problem: amateur players use running apps on their Apple Watch to track football, but running metrics don’t translate into clear football performance indicators.

The goal: record more relevant football data and produce clear indicators players can use to assess and improve their performance on the pitch.

Usability study

During a match the player is always moving, so recording starts and stops with the game, input is kept to a minimum with both swipe and tap, and all information stays glanceable — no menus or extra screens.

Impact & takeaways

The app lets users see more of their performance without much input. Lesson learned: first ideas are only the beginning — usability studies and peer feedback shaped every iteration.
