About Sharp Training Systems

“It’s become a cornerstone of my programme, and I couldn’t recommend it more.”

Tommy Munday, a UKSCA-accredited strength and conditioning coach, has spent the past five years working with elite athletes, including Manchester United Women and Boxing Science. He now leads Sharp Training Systems in Sheffield, offering physical performance testing, training, and consultancy for athletes across various sports, including athletics, football, hockey, netball, and rowing.

When using older strategies, Tommy noticed that while athletes were getting stronger, this didn’t always translate to improvements in speed and power. It worked for some, but not for others. By adopting a more objective approach with the help of Output, Tommy has been able to test, profile, and monitor his athletes’ progress more effectively.

Speed – Validity & Reliability

"The speed in which data is calculated is now a massive advantage, allowing me to feedback and communicate data far more quickly than I was previously able to, which is a massive advantage and enhances my coaching."

Tommy trusts Output not only for its validity and reliability but also for its efficiency. The system provides real-time feedback, eliminating the need for time-consuming analysis of force traces or delayed data access. Tommy highlighted that Output's visual interface is more user-friendly than other systems he has encountered, enabling him to immediately show athletes their performance metrics via his phone or laptop.

Tracking Objective Progress & Building Athlete Buy-In

"Seeing objective progress and results is really important and inspires confidence in the athletes that what we are doing is working, and allows me to tweak programmes quickly if it isn’t."

Tommy uses Output in nearly every session, whether for testing, providing augmented feedback, or monitoring performance. By leveraging objective data, he ensures measurable improvements and quickly adapts his programmes when necessary. This approach not only guarantees progress but also fosters trust and confidence among his athletes.

Saving Time & Delivering Better Results

"The biggest thing is how much time Output is saving me. The use of augmented feedback to enhance coaching and results is well documented, and I’ve found Output optimises this process through the speed of data processing and communication."

Output streamlines Tommy’s workflow, from rapid data collection to efficient processing and communication. This allows him to provide athletes with immediate insights, supporting fast, reactive decision-making. Whether on a daily, micro, meso, or macro level, Output empowers Tommy to let data truly inform practice and training.

Performance Profiling to Better Understand Athletes

"In an athlete’s first session, I’m using Output straight away to find out their strengths and where their improvement opportunities are, through vertical jump profiling and reactive strength testing. I’ll also take Output to team settings for group testing and communicate this data back to athletes and coaches to help inform what they do."

Tommy prioritizes individualizing training to maximize progress for each athlete. Session one is focused on profiling physical attributes to identify strengths and areas for improvement. He frequently uses Output for both individual and team settings, ensuring data is effectively communicated to athletes and coaches to guide programming.

"Output has a team of really talented and fantastic individuals who have been absolutely awesome in terms of getting me started with integrating the tech into my practice."

Tommy praised the Output team for their excellent support, from onboarding to ongoing assistance. Despite Output’s growing presence, he continues to feel supported and valued, enabling him to maximize the tech’s potential in his practice.
