By Mike Hefferan, General Manager – AccelerWare For 25 years I’ve lived inside elite systems — as an athlete, as a coach, and as an executive delivering complex programs across sport and corporate Australia. I’ve seen high performance environments evolve from whiteboards and gut feel to GPS, force plates and dashboards. But here’s the truth….
Every nation, every sport, every system has built its own version of an athlete pathway. Australia has FTEM. The UK has its Performance Pathway. Canada has LTAD. Professional leagues have their own development models layered on top again. The result?Brilliant thinking—trapped inside siloed frameworks. One of the boldest problems we set out to solve at…
By Mike Hefferan, General Manager – AccelerWare In elite sport, every decision has consequence — who to draft, when to rest, how to peak, and how to protect an athlete’s long-term value. For decades, these decisions have relied on intuition, experience, and incomplete data. But that era is ending. Synthetic Intelligence (SI) is here —…
In the future of human performance, the next frontier isn’t just smarter athletes — it’s smarter systems. Over the past year, I’ve written about synthetic intelligence, long-form data streams, and how AccelerWare is reshaping everything from athlete testing to Olympic talent identification. But there’s another evolution already underway — one that will define how nations…
The future of human performance is no longer a vision—it’s a movement. At AccelerWare, we’ve always believed that long vertical data streams are the foundation for building stronger athletes, smarter rehab programs, and healthier communities. But the next chapter in this journey is about turning data into destiny—and that’s where Synthetic Intelligence (SI) becomes indispensable….
Every great movement in history starts with a shift in perspective. In sport, health, and human performance, that shift is happening right now. We’ve spent decades collecting fragmented snapshots of athletes – single tests, isolated drills, occasional rehab notes. Useful, yes, but limited. At AccelerWare, we’re replacing snapshots with cinematic streams of data – long…
When I first introduced AccelerWare’s vision, I spoke about the power of long vertical data streams and why they’re the foundation for building stronger athletes, smarter rehab programs, and healthier communities. In my second article, I outlined how synthetic intelligence will revolutionise the performance sports industry. Now, I want to show you what this actually…
In my last blog, I highlighted the importance of long vertical data streams in shaping athlete development. That foundation is critical — but the next chapter is even more exciting. It’s about synthetic intelligence (SI) and how it will revolutionise performance sport. Why Synthetic Intelligence Matters For decades, sports performance has been powered by human…
