Cardiff Metropolitan University partners with Train My Athlete to enhance player performance and wellbeing

Cardiff Metropolitan University has announced a new multi-year partnership with TrainMyAthlete (TMA), which has become the University’s designated athlete monitoring software. 

The collaboration will see TMA’s advanced technology embedded across Cardiff Met’s sports programmes, helping staff and practitioners to monitor, support and enhance the health, wellbeing and performance of more than 750 athletes, ranging from junior pathway players to elite-level student performance athletes. Importantly, the partnership also includes an agreement with the Cardiff School of Sport and Health Sciences (CSSHS), ensuring that anonymised data can be used ethically to support research and impact case studies that benefit the wider sporting community. 

The system will enable staff to track attendance, scheduling, injury data, wellness metrics and overall training load, ensuring that each athlete receives the right support at the right time. By supporting both performance optimisation and welfare management, the platform also allows Cardiff Met to align athlete development with long-term health and sustainability. 

By centralising medical information, strength and conditioning data, and integrating with existing sport science systems, TMA will give Cardiff Met a clearer understanding of each athlete’s daily experience. This will allow coaches and staff to provide more personalised care and optimise performance on and off the field. 

Speaking about the partnership, Michael Peacock, Head of Performance Services at Cardiff Met, said: “We are always striving to find the best technologies and the best people to work with to enhance what we do at Cardiff Met. TrainMyAthlete is a fantastic addition to our toolkit, offering seamless integration with our existing systems while providing invaluable insights into the wellbeing and development of our athletes.” 

Chris Jones of Train My Athlete said: “Everyone at TrainMyAthlete is delighted to partner with Cardiff Metropolitan University and support their holistic approach to athlete development. It has been fantastic to see how the university’s dedicated and experienced professionals have integrated TMA across their entire sports programme. With features ranging from scheduling and medical notes to strength and conditioning delivery and performance monitoring, TMA enables the Cardiff Met team to collaborate seamlessly and enhance their already world-class athlete care. We are proud to support them in their mission to develop high-performing athletes.”
