Menlo Park, California and Biarritz, Nouvelle-Aquitaine, France November 14, 2024 – Kitman Labs, the global enterprise SaaS platform providing the only single, centralised operating system for performance intelligence in Sports, today agreed to a new partnership with Biarritz Olympique Pays Basque (Biarritz), former 5x First Division French Rugby Union Champions.

Biarritz will deploy the Performance Medicine and Performance Optimization Solutions in iP: Intelligence Platform. The platform combines and integrates medical and performance data in one singular platform, providing the club’s coaches and practitioners with a complete 360° view of all players and a real-time assessment of player health, readiness and condition.

iP: Intelligence Platform will aggregate all relevant data from across the Club, powering the advanced analytics and producing the insights and actionable intelligence necessary to support evidence-based decision-making in the areas of player health and welfare, injury reduction and rehabilitation, and training and performance optimisation.

Additionally the platform will provide the technological infrastructure to standardise accurate data collection and intelligence dissemination while providing a shared, single source of truth for all stakeholders in the Organisation, enabling cross-departmental collaboration, communication and ultimately, helping to accelerate the decision-making processes across all departments and disciplines.

“Monitoring, measuring and proving incremental gains in sport are vital in helping to validate strategic and tactical decision-making. Too often this process is overly subjective or beholden to legacy practices and behaviours. By deploying Kitman Labs’ Intelligence Platform, our coaches, practitioners and players will now have the data-led insights necessary to inform change in everything from player care and treatment to training regimens, load management and readiness tracking,” said James Coughlan, Sporting Director at Biarritz Olympique.

“Biarritz Olympique has a rich history of high performance and this partnership highlights their commitment to innovation and gaining a complete understanding of player welfare and performance potential. By deploying the Intelligence Platform, Biarritz Olympique is instituting a system that not only helps inform practices and procedures across the Club but provides the data and analytics infrastructure to streamline and automate work flows and empower coaches, practitioners and players with reliable evidence-based intelligence – driving efficiencies and reducing the time needed to run analysis and configure dashboards. More time on the pitch, developing players and unlocking performance outcomes and less time behind a screen,” said Stephen Smith, CEO and Founder of Kitman Lab.

Kitman Labs has an established track record of working with top teams, leagues and regulatory bodies globally, across a variety of sports, including rugby, football, basketball and American football. The company’s technology is in use by teams in some of the world’s most elite sporting organisations, including the IRFU, NFL, NBA, NWSL, Premier League, MLS and NCAA.

iP: Intelligence Platform represents the industry’s largest dataset of talent, performance, and medical data for all stages of the athlete lifecycle.
