What We Learned Across One Full Ligue 2 Pilot Season

One season, one professional medical staff, and one consistent finding: the data was already in the building — it just took four hours a day to assemble.

In short

1 Ligue 2 season

Full competitive season from pre-season day one to the final league fixture.

23 players

Daily GPS load, post-session RPE history, staff observations and medical history from the previous two seasons.

~4h → < 1h

Daily staff time spent gathering and reconciling exports across four separate tools.

We finished our first full pilot season in May, and we wanted to publish what we observed plainly — using the exact figures from our quarterly partner reviews, without turning a single-club pilot into an exaggerated marketing claim.

The pilot ran across a complete Ligue 2 competitive season with 23 professional players followed daily in Omen Performance. The medical and performance staff brought together four previously isolated sources: daily GPS load, post-session perceived exertion (RPE) history, staff observations and medical history from the previous two seasons.

Why we deliberately refused to reduce player trajectories to an injury probability

The medical staff did not need a black-box number that appeared to decide for them. They needed observable facts, their recent evolution and explicit visibility into missing measurements.

Every morning review focused on concrete indicators: recent workload, RPE history, player condition assessed through staff observations, reported pain, test results and relevant anatomical history — each linked directly to its source.

From four hours of manual reconciliation to under one hour per day

Before the pilot, the medical staff spent roughly four hours per day gathering information from separate GPS portals, RPE reports, medical notes and spreadsheets. With Omen Performance, that reconciliation dropped to under one hour.

Returning three hours a day to hands-on care changed the quality of the medical record itself: physiotherapists entered more post-session clinical observations because the tool no longer asked them to repeat manual data entry.

Frequently asked questions

What are the methodological boundaries of this Ligue 2 pilot report?

It is a pre/post observational deployment inside one professional Ligue 2 squad (23 players) over one season, without a randomised control group. We report the verified workflow and time gains transparently.

How can another club evaluate these time savings on its own data?

We run an initial walkthrough using one squad and your existing exports so you can see how your GPS, RPE and clinical feeds consolidate inside Omen Performance.
