Results

NOMAS prepares training plans for professional footballers, with athletes such as Diogo Dalot and Luis Díaz. That work relied on manual tasks and on knowledge concentrated in the coaches, a model that works but doesn't scale. Agiliz designed and is building the Performance Command Center: a platform that automates plan generation, turns each athlete's data into recommendations and always keeps the coach's judgement at the centre of the decision.

01The opportunity

  • Plans built by hand, athlete by athlete

    Preparing each athlete's plan took up high-value time from the coaches, time taken away from work on the pitch.

  • Rules applied one by one

    Days between matches, minutes played in the previous match, return-to-play management: periodisation rules were applied manually, in a slow process prone to inconsistency.

  • Rich data that never became decisions

    Wearables, readiness and medical context were there, but they weren't turned into training decisions in a controlled way. And there was no trail of which decision was made and why.

02The solution

  1. 01

    The coach's rules turned into a system.

    Training cycles by days between matches and minutes played, standard rules and exceptions per athlete. The platform generates the right plan and always shows which rule was applied and why.

  2. 02

    Two-way connection to Iterpro.

    Athletes, exercises, calendar and minutes played come in automatically, and the approved plan goes back there. The athlete keeps using the tool they already know.

  3. 03

    Direct connection to WHOOP.

    Recovery, sleep, strain and heart rate variability come in every day. A bad night's sleep now counts in the plan before the athlete arrives at training.

  4. 04

    AI that analyses rules and metrics.

    It cross-references WHOOP with readiness, load, questionnaires and medical context, and gives explained recommendations, with the data and criteria behind them.

  5. 05

    AI agents for the coaching staff.

    A coordinating agent hands out tasks to sub-agents: monitoring athletes, preparing daily briefings, supporting content. Each agent only accesses the data it needs.

  6. 06

    The coach always in charge.

    Plans, recommendations and agent proposals go into a single review flow. Nothing reaches the athlete without human approval.

  7. 07

    Health data protected by design.

    AWS in a European region, an isolated AI session per athlete, a data protection impact assessment and a full audit trail from day one.

03How we implemented it

Through MEDIR, as in every project. It's the same screen the client follows in the portal, phase by phase.

  1. Map

    How coaches built each plan: rules applied one by one and wearable data with no link to decisions.

  2. Estimate

    High-value coaching time spent building plans, athlete by athlete, with no trail of each decision.

  3. Decide

    Configurable rules, AI recommending and the coach approving in a single flow, with health data protected.

  4. Implement

    Performance Command Center in phased deliveries, connected to Iterpro and WHOOP.

    • Single approval flow for the coachsince Jul 2026
  5. ReviewCurrent phase

    Each delivery reaches production with value of its own, ready for new data sources and new models.

04The impact

The coach no longer builds each plan by hand. They open the platform and find, for each athlete, the plan generated by the rules, the AI's recommendations with their reasoning and a single button to approve.

The NOMAS methodology is now applied consistently to every athlete, with a trail for each decision. The knowledge that lived in the coaches' heads is now in the system.

NOMAS gains the capacity to look after more athletes without growing the coaching staff at the same pace. The architecture is ready for new data sources and new AI models.
