Session planning software has evolved. Once focused solely on drills and logistics, it now drives both performance and long-term development. But most tools still stop at the plan, offering no visibility into execution or impact.
In iP: Intelligence Platform, session planning is fully integrated into two powerful Solutions: Performance Optimization and Coaching & Development—linking every training session to athlete readiness, workload management, and development objectives.
With iP, session planning is just the start. You gain the insight to manage load, align tactics, and build both team strategies and individual development goals that progress over time.
And while traditional session planning tools focus on scheduling logistics or drawing drills, iP connects training design and drill selection directly to outcomes, ensuring every session supports your performance goals, not just your calendar.
Session Planning in Performance Optimization
Plan smarter. Adapt faster. Drive performance.
In the Performance Optimization Solution in iP: Intelligence Platform, session planning is directly connected to athlete readiness, workload data, and individual development goals. This integration turns every training session into an opportunity to drive results.
Workload-Aware Training Design
Design each session with targeted volume, intensity, and objectives that align with individual and team needs. Every session syncs automatically with athlete availability, recovery metrics, and match exposure, ensuring optimal load management while minimizing risk.
Tactical Alignment, Not Just Logging
Go beyond documentation. Build sessions that reflect your tactical identity and performance plan. Training activities can be reviewed in context, alongside match results, fatigue trends, and readiness indicators.
Insights That Elevate Every Session
Because planning, execution, and outcomes are connected in one environment, you gain access to deeper, more actionable insights:
- Which session types contribute most to peak performance or performance drops?
- Are training blocks creating cumulative fatigue in certain athletes or groups?
- How well are tactical training themes translating to game-day execution?
And because scheduling is connected to readiness and recovery data, you’re not just planning sessions—you’re optimizing their timing and impact.
This is session planning software reimagined—supporting better sessions today, and better outcomes tomorrow.

Session Planning in Coaching & Development
A structured system for measurable progression.
In development environments, clarity, consistency, and continuity are non-negotiable. The Coaching & Development Solution transforms standalone sessions into a connected framework—one that tracks training content, supports coach alignment, and drives long-term player growth.
Curriculum-Connected Session Design
Design and deliver sessions aligned with age-specific frameworks and development objectives. Tactical, technical, and cognitive goals are tracked over time, ensuring that every session contributes meaningfully to holistic development. Individual development goals also surface within each session—reviewed, tracked, and incorporated as inputs into ongoing planning.
Feedback Loops That Fuel Progress
Session content, participation, and evaluations are captured and analyzed, providing visibility into how consistently the curriculum is being delivered and how effectively it’s being absorbed across the environment.
Insights That Traditional Tools Can’t Provide
By embedding session planning into the broader development system, growth becomes measurable and adaptable:
- Which sessions are accelerating individual progression, and why?
- Where is growth plateauing—and how can session design, coach delivery, or workload be adjusted to reaccelerate development?
- How faithfully is the development philosophy being applied across teams, age groups, or coaches?
The Coaching & Development Solution in iP also supports a structured drill library, ensuring coaches deliver the right session content, tied to development goals, with consistency across the environment.
Every session contributes to a larger picture of development. With the Coaching & Development Solution, that picture becomes clearer—and more actionable—with every session.
