With a range of data collection sources, there was a need to centralise and store data in a single spot for ease of access.

"The main advantage is that Lumin is a one-stop shop. Everything is in one place. All the information, all the physical information that we need.'' - Peter Burge, High Performance Manager

Staff need to access and review subjective and objective data in order to make the most informed decisions.

''Naturally, we have decisions we have to present to coaches and the coaching group. So having the data, information, and the evidence is critical to backing up what we're seeing with our eyes, so we can present the right information to our coaches and make really informed decisions based on that.'' - Peter Burge, High Performance Manager.

Lumin's GPS integrations and reporting features allow the high-performance department to manage player loads. This information is used to review performance and guide future load management considerations.

''Anything from acceleration, deceleration numbers, high acceleration and hard accelerations through to high intensity running, sprinting, max velocity, as well as average speeds, so meters per minute over a period of time. There are a number of metrics that we look at, and we have to match that up with a player's strengths and what they're good at as well.'' - Peter Burge, High Performance Manager

Hawthorn's rehab coordinator uses Lumin to review GPS output and to prescribe ideal game loads for players returning from injury.

''It's a significant, part of our decision making, particularly reviewing information post-training, but also previewing information as well for players returning from rehab and projecting what sort of game load we want to start with, particularly if they're coming out of a long term injury and coming through the VFL, where we have a little bit more control over the length of the game that can play, and then projecting that on to AFL as well.'' - Peter Burge, High Performance Manager

Lumin allows Hawthorn to screen, record and monitor a range of performance and medical markers. The information informs how athletes are adapting to training loads or how they're recovering from an injury setback.

"From a screening perspective, we're looking at their norms over time and then comparing what they are today based on those norms and seeing if there's an increase or decrease or if they're stable. And we can take that information and bundle it together with the other information and make informed decisions around the health and their injury status, particularly with younger players who come in, you know, underdeveloped a lot of the time when we're trying to push the envelope with young bodies, it's really important to track, things like groin pain and, and those sorts of, metrics on the go and return to play.'' - Peter Burge, High Performance Manager

Lumin's Post Match module allows athletes and coaches to rate and comment on performance via the mobile app.

''Post-match, we get feedback from the players, the ratings, and the coaches are able to put their comments and ratings as well in there. We match them up and review their performance as well as their GPS data.'' - Peter Burge, High Performance Manager.
