From Excel to a relational database – future-proof in performance sport
This webinar is conducted in German (Deutsch). Registration and participation are open to international attendees.

In most performance centres, training and diagnostic data is scattered across Excel files and folder hierarchies – hard to find, nearly impossible to link, and tied to individual people. The step that needs to happen now is the move from this grown Excel world to a robust, relational data foundation. This webinar shows how that transition works – and why it pays off.

In the first part, Markus Stadler, founder and CEO of Datico, presents the Datico® LIFE HUB: how data from different sources is consolidated, structured, stored, and exported back to Excel whenever needed for flexible analysis. You keep the working methods you are used to – and gain a clean data foundation as the prerequisite for traceable progressions, reference values, comparable evaluations, and, in the long run, individual, data-driven training decisions.

In the second part, Dr. Sebastian Buitrago, Head of Sport Science at the Olympic Training Centre Lower Saxony, shares the practical journey: from an existing Excel inventory, through the import into a relational structure in the Datico® LIFE HUB, to day-to-day operations today – and what has concretely changed as a result.

Questions welcome afterwards.

Sport scientists, heads of performance centres, Olympic training centres, and sports federations.

Better Data. Better Decisions. Better Outcomes.
