Player availability and injury intelligence

Know who is available before anyone asks.

Strong runs the full injury lifecycle, governed medication, and real-time availability in one record. The moment a physio updates a status, the squad dashboard knows. No phone call, no spreadsheet, no surprise on a Friday.

The problem

Availability is the question every other tool dodges

Load platforms tell you how hard an athlete trained. Recovery wearables tell you how they slept. Neither tells a coach the one thing they need at team selection: can this player train today, and if not, when. That answer lives in a physio's head, a paper note, or a medical system the coaching staff cannot see. By the time it reaches the director, it is a day old and a conversation late.

  • The physio knows; the coach finds out at the session
  • Injury records, medication, and rehab live in three disconnected places
  • No objective view of what injuries are actually costing the squad
The turn

One injury record. Every department reads it.

Exposure, status, medication, rehab, and surveillance write to a single athlete record. The physio logs once; the coach, the director, and the S&C staff see the same truth at the same moment.

Real-time availability

The selection question, answered before you ask it

Every athlete carries a live availability flag: full, limited, or out, with the reason and the source on the row. When a physio changes a status in the Performance Medicine module, the squad board updates without a page refresh. A director opens Monday morning and reads the whole roster in one glance, no chase required.

The injury lifecycle

From the moment it happens to the moment they return

Capture the injury in full

Mechanism, diagnosis, diagnostics, and every related document on one record. Nothing lives in a separate folder or a clinician's inbox.

Track the recovery, stage by stage

Move an athlete through recovery stages with the rehab and preventative programmes attached. Progress is visible, not anecdotal.

Communicate the plan, not just the status

Care programmes are created, updated, and shared from one flexible system, so the athlete and every staff member work from the same plan.

Injury surveillance

See what injuries are really costing you

Incidence tells you how often a region is hurt. Days lost tells you what it costs when it is. Burden is both. Strong separates the two so a rare-but-costly knee never hides behind a frequent-but-cheap ankle, and your prevention work targets the injuries that actually move availability.

Injury burden by region

How often each region is injured, and how many days it costs. Burden is both, not one.

What it tracks

The Performance Medicine record, in full

Exposure and availability
Availability due to injury, illness, and time off, with the true impact on game and training availability made objective.
Player profile and status
Current status, the trend behind it, and the benchmark beside it, across injuries, medical tests, and wellness, with configurable alerts.
Injury lifecycle
Detailed injury capture, diagnostics tracking, document management, and progression through recovery stages on one record.
Treatment and rehab
Care programmes and preventative maintenance created, updated, and communicated from one centralised, flexible system.
Injury surveillance
Incidence, mechanism, who was injured, and time lost, analysed at organisation, group, and individual level, exportable for staff.
Every write to a medication record is authenticated, authorised to medical staff, audited, and checked against the athlete's allergies. Governance is not a feature we added later. It is the floor we built on.
Medication governance

Safer prescriptions, by design

Logged per athlete, audited every time

Medications sit on the athlete's record with a full audit trail. Who prescribed what, and when, is never a question.

Allergies and interactions, in real time

Every prescription is checked against the athlete's allergies and current medications before it is given, not after.

Stock managed alongside the record

Stock levels track against what is administered, so the medical room and the medical record never drift out of step.

The first time our coaching staff and medical team looked at the same availability board, the Monday meeting got an hour shorter. Nobody was relaying a status second-hand any more. The board was the conversation.

Player availability and injury intelligence

Make availability the answer, not the argument

Give every department the same live picture of who is fit, who is limited, and who is on the way back. Build a squad that is healthier, and a selection meeting that is shorter.
