The problem
Tackling Is One of the Most Important Skills in Contact Sports — But It's Hard to Measure.
Tackling is central to both performance and safety in contact sports. Yet today, coaches and governing bodies have no reliable way to measure tackle technique or track improvement over time.
Most coaching relies on visual observation and subjective feedback. While experienced coaches can recognise good technique, it is difficult to monitor progress, identify risk factors, or provide clear feedback to players.
Built on a dataset of coach-scored tackles, TackleTEK addresses this problem by analysing tackles and generating objective feedback — turning tackling into something that can be measured, tracked and coached with confidence.
