Raw Stadia continues to evolve elite performance environments around the world with the launch of Raw Performance, an all-in-one solution that efficiently turns surface data into actionable performance insights. Designed by, with, and for coaching, performance, and medical staff, Raw Performance enables precision and efficiency in understanding Player–Surface Interaction — helping the team behind the team make better-informed decisions with confidence.

What is Raw Performance?

Raw Performance is Raw Stadia’s newest software solution, designed to bring clarity and control to performance environments. Through its intuitive dashboard, it connects surface behaviour with training objectives, translating complex surface metrics into actionable intelligence for daily decision-making.

Performance practitioners can immediately understand how impact, energy, and grip affect athlete response, recovery, and load. Raw Performance empowers teams to plan every session with precision, ensuring training aligns with the surface realities of the day.

What Users Can Do with Raw Performance?

With Raw Performance, users can:

Select a training goal and instantly see which pitch is best suited for it.
Access surface insights showing how each field will respond under load.
Review performance indexes visualised for each pitch.
Combine insights with boot choice guidance to adapt footwear and load strategies.
Use detailed maps to analyse surface variations and adjust drills accordingly.

Performance Indexes

Raw Stadia’s Performance Indexes automatically analyse objective surface properties and provide practitioners with clear and concise playability insights:

Impact: Review peak vertical loading transmitted to the player’s musculoskeletal system. Whilst lower impact can be beneficial towards recovery goals due to increased cushioning under the foot, high impacts elevate musculoskeletal stress but can be utilised for targeted conditioning or training adaptations.
Energy: Quantify the elastic behaviour of the pitch. Low energy requires players to generate more muscular effort to hit similar volumes and speeds achieved on a higher energy pitch, which supports efficient locomotion to cover larger distances.
Grip: Consider the surface's traction levels to show how much grip the pitch provides to support powerful and explosive actions. Insufficient grip increases muscular demands for body stabilisation and the likelihood of losing balance or slipping, whilst excessive grip elevates the risk of injury in uncontrolled high-torque movements.

Boot Advice

Raw Performance's intelligent Boot Advice algorithm takes the guesswork out of choosing the right boots. By translating complex traction metrics into simple footwear advice, staff and players receive tailored recommendations that maximise both safety and performance. The result? Enhanced responsiveness, greater stability, and more efficient changes of direction empower athletes to move with confidence and precision, no matter the conditions.

Training Goal Scores

Building athlete fitness is a science where training goals, intensity, and periodisation are meticulously crafted by performance practitioners. Raw Performance enhances this process by connecting training objectives directly with surface data.

The system automatically analyses each pitch’s physical characteristics and recommends the type of training it’s best suited for: speed work, endurance training, or SAQ drills. Simply select your training goal, and Raw Performance will instantly sort and rank your available pitches by their optimal match.

By aligning the right surface with the right session, Raw Performance empowers coaches and practitioners to train smarter and accelerate athletic development and match readiness with precision.

Why Raw Performance?

Performance plans can fail when the surface behaves differently than expected. Raw Performance removes that uncertainty. It gives performance professionals the power to anticipate how every surface will perform before the session begins — ensuring that training plans align perfectly with real surface conditions.

Raw Performance supports training periodisation, advising which pitches best suit recovery, high-intensity conditioning, or match preparation. With these insights, practitioners can structure sessions that optimise preparation, maintain consistency, and reduce risk — transforming data into confident, daily performance decisions.

Raw Performance – Intelligence That Powers Daily Excellence

Modern performance environments demand precision, adaptability, and insight. Raw Performance transforms the way teams plan and prepare by turning complex pitch performance data into clear, actionable intelligence.

Through its intuitive dashboard, coaches and performance staff can instantly understand the impact, energy, and grip players will be exposed to — all visualised in an easy-to-read format. This immediate clarity enables them to make data-backed decisions about training loads, session design, and footwear selection without doubt or delay.

Raw Performance seamlessly supports training periodisation, advising which pitches best suit each session’s objectives, whether the focus is on recovery, high-intensity conditioning, or match preparation. With these insights, practitioners structure training plans that align perfectly with the surface realities of the day, ensuring optimal preparation, safety, and consistent excellence.

By embedding Raw Performance into daily workflows, teams gain the power to plan smarter, train safer, and perform better — every single session.
