Why Kitman Labs: Born from the Field, Built Around You

Because unlocking performance starts with people—not just products.

In elite sport, the margins between success and setback are razor-thin. Getting it right takes more than dashboards, charts, or even data science. It takes a partner who understands the rhythm of competition, the pace of daily decisions, and the pressure of accountability.

Kitman Labs was founded to meet that demand, not with fragmented tools or templated solutions, but with a unified platform and a team that’s lived the reality of sport.

We are born from the field, and everything we build reflects that.

Insight from the Inside

At Kitman Labs, performance insight doesn’t start with dashboards—it starts with people.

Our team includes Applied Performance Specialists, Data Scientists, Coaches, Medical Professionals, Sport Psychologists, Data Analysts, and Engineers—as well as former professional and collegiate athletes, athletic trainers, strength coaches, nutritionists, and rehab specialists. We’ve worked across every layer of sport, from youth Academies to First Teams, Olympic programs to national governing bodies.

You’ll find us in the gym, the dugout, the treatment room, and the boardroom—because we’ve been there. As rehab coaches at Leinster Rugby, Performance Directors at AS Roma, Athletic Trainers for the Detroit Lions and IMG Academy, Sports Scientists from the Premier League to the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA), and coaches from Forest Green Rovers F.C. to Liverpool FC.

We’ve designed development frameworks, led injury prevention strategies, optimized workloads, and delivered performance systems that drive real-world results. And we’ve made the same high-pressure decisions your staff faces every day.

They don’t just deliver support, they bring perspective. Working shoulder to shoulder with your team to align systems, refine workflows, and drive better decisions.

No templated playbooks. No copy-paste advice. Just applied intelligence from professionals who know what it means to perform and be accountable for the outcome.

Built Around Your Team

Sport demands adaptability, innovation, and invention. Your technology partner should, too.

From day one, Kitman Labs works alongside your team to understand your structure, your goals, and how you operate. We configure the platform around your environment and stay engaged as those needs evolve.

This is not onboarding and out. It’s strategic collaboration—whether you’re refining communication flows, evolving your injury management model, or building development frameworks across departments.

Enablement isn’t a phase. It’s ongoing. Through tailored training, hands-on configuration, and proactive reviews, we help your team extract full value, every step of the way.

Innovation, Backed by Research

Kitman Labs is home to the only dedicated, data science–led research initiative and incubator in sport: the Performance Intelligence Research Initiative (PIRI).

Through partnerships with leagues and teams worldwide, we turn the most pressing questions in performance and medicine into evidence-based insights that drive real-world change.

Our cross-functional Custom Analytics team—including Applied Performance Specialists, Data Scientists, and Performance Strategists—works directly with teams, clubs, leagues, and regulatory bodies to build tailored models, identify new patterns and trends, and deliver decision-ready insights built to inform the decisions that matter most.

By partnering with some of the most forward-thinking organizations in global sport, we continuously innovate—not just to improve the platform, but to help you stay ahead of what’s next. Whether it’s analyzing the impact of rule changes on injury rates, mapping the seasonality of soft tissue injuries, or establishing biomechanical benchmarks for technical performance, our research informs not just the platform—but the future of sport.

With Kitman Labs, you won’t just keep pace. You’ll lead it.

Purpose-Built, Backed by People

We didn’t stitch together disconnected tools or chase feature checklists. From day one, we’ve made deliberate choices about what we build, how we build it, and who we build it for.

That focus is powered by people who’ve worked in sport and understand what’s required to perform, not just ship product.

  • 100% of our resources go toward advancing a single, natively designed and built platform
  • No divided priorities, no fractured user experience
  • Deeper integration and faster innovation, because the team behind it is focused, not fragmented

You won’t work through layers of vendors or disconnected support teams. You’ll partner with one aligned team, across science, service, and delivery.

Global Scale, Local Understanding

With over 250 team members across the U.S., Europe, Asia, and Australia, and partnerships with 2,000+ teams in 26 countries, Kitman Labs combines global infrastructure with practical, sport-specific expertise.

We don’t just speak your language. We’ve sat in your seat. And we know that to be effective, data has to reflect your reality, not just a product roadmap.

Let’s Build the Future of Performance—Together

When you partner with Kitman Labs, you don’t just get technology. You get a team with a shared mission. A platform that unifies your people, processes, and performance data. And a long-term commitment to evolving with you, not selling to you.

Because we’re not just software built for sport.
We’re sport, building the software.
