About Touchline IQ

Built from the realities of club coaching.

Touchline IQ exists to help coaches collect better information, communicate more clearly, and make sounder decisions while the season is still moving.

The product was shaped by first-hand time with underage and adult teams, then refined through conversations with managers, coaches, and players across football and the Gaelic games.

Story

Touchline IQ started with a simple coaching problem.

How do you drive better performance when the people leading the team are already short on time, short on staff, and trying to make sense of too much information in real time?

At club level, coaches are always chasing continuous improvement in both the team and the individual. The problem is that most groups are doing it with limited time, limited staff, and volunteers giving up evenings and weekends to keep the whole thing moving.

Touchline IQ grew out of that reality. It was created from first-hand experience of playing and coaching with club teams, where better information could improve decisions, but the tools on the sideline were often too light, too awkward, or simply not built for the way real coaching groups work.

The product direction was then shaped through interviews with managers, coaches, and players across football and the Gaelic games. The aim was not to build a flashy tech demo. It was to build something straightforward enough for busy clubs to use, while still giving the management team a better shared picture of performance.

"Built from real coaching experience, not from a tech company guessing what the sideline needs."

Touchline IQ origin

"Better communication between management and players, backed by real data, is the point of the platform."

Touchline IQ mission

Real data over guesswork

Capture what is actually happening in games and training so decisions can be backed by evidence instead of memory alone.

Communication that travels

Give the management team and the players a clearer shared picture instead of relying on scattered notes and fragmented conversations.

Practical for club teams

Keep the workflow simple enough for volunteer-led groups to set up, share, and use consistently over a full season.

Technology

Practical technology underneath a coach-friendly product.

The stack matters because it helps the workflow stay reliable on real match days, not because it needs to look complicated on a slide.

Touchline IQ uses modern tooling in service of a very practical goal: make it easier for coaches and helpers to log, share, and reuse information without adding friction to the sideline.

Flutter

One cross-platform coaching workflow

Touchline IQ is built with Flutter so the product can stay consistent across the devices coaches and helpers already carry on match day.

That keeps the experience familiar for the whole management group instead of splitting the workflow by platform.

AWS

Reliable cloud backbone

Accounts, shared data, and media storage sit on AWS so the platform can support multi-user collaboration without becoming brittle.

The cloud layer exists to make the sideline workflow dependable, not to add complexity for its own sake.

Offline-first

Keep going when the signal drops

Matchday capture keeps working locally when coverage fails, then syncs back once a connection returns.

That matters because club grounds are not built around perfect connectivity, especially when the weather turns.
