Football tools that actually help you train, plan, and decide — not just another pretty calculator.

How to read results

Every tool on this site has three built-in habits. Knowing them is the difference between a useful answer and a misleading one.

  1. 1. Inputs are estimates

    Whether it’s your max heart rate or pitch dimensions, the model assumes typical adult values. If your real value is far from average, the answer shifts with it.

  2. 2. Numbers have error bars

    A 7.2 km match distance isn’t “exactly 7.2 km” — it’s a band. We try to show that band. Where we can’t, we say so.

  3. 3. Use it to ask the next question

    A tool shouldn’t end the conversation. We add “what to do with this” and “when to ignore this” under every result.
