Fast and easy workflow for daily training
Spend less time managing timing and video, and more time coaching.
Protern fits into the way training already works, without adding extra steps.
Built around real training days
Make timing and video easier to manage
Coaches already use timing systems and video in training. The challenge is not collecting data, but managing everything around it.
Traditional timing systems and traditional video tools often work as separate parts. This creates extra steps, manual handling, and delays when reviewing runs.
Protern brings timing and video together in one workflow. The goal is not to change how coaches train, but to make the process faster and easier to manage.
Why the Protern workflow is faster and easier
More reliable on busy training days
Fewer manual steps mean fewer things go wrong.
Less file handling reduces missing videos and saves time when conditions are busy.
Less setup than traditional timing systems
Traditional timing systems require setup before training starts.
Protern fits into the day with less preparation and the same basic workflow across sessions.
Timing and video handled together
With traditional tools, timing and video are often managed separately.
Protern brings video and performance data together in one place, removing extra step
Faster video review than traditional video workflows
Traditional video workflows often involve uploading files and manual file naming.
With Protern, athletes and runs are named automatically, and video is ready to review on any device.
Easier sharing with athletes
Traditional video tools require exporting and sending files.
With Protern, video is shared automatically so athletes can review their own runs and data.
Works at different training scales
Protern works for small training groups or larger programs.
It can be adopted by part of a team without changing how training runs.
Automatic athlete and run naming in video
With traditional video tools, naming and organising files takes time.
Protern handles this automatically so coaches can focus on review, not preparation.
