General
What is the B42 Coach Zone?
The B42 Coach Zone is the desktop solution for coaches and clubs with role-based permissions. Coaches can create events, schedule match days and team training sessions, assign workouts and wellness surveys, edit player data, and view statistics. Fitness coaches can assign workouts, run performance tests, and add injury notes. Players can make entries to the team fund.
What is the B42 Performance App?
The B42 Performance App is the player-focused solution: workouts, wellness surveys, and events created by coaches appear in the app in real time. Players can complete tasks, train on their own, and compare themselves with other players worldwide.
Why should my team use B42?
B42 lets teams organize matches and training, plan lineups, track player progress, and assign injury-prevention, fitness, and technical training based on performance and team load.
Can I use B42 without a team?
Yes. Individual players can get personalized training plans tailored to the season phase and their performance level, receive a Playercard, and compare themselves with others worldwide.
Which league is B42 suitable for?
All leagues. The training adapts individually to each player's performance level, matched to their personal readiness to develop.
Training
How often should I run a performance test?
Ideally every four to six weeks. Shorter intervals don't give the body enough time to adapt.
What's the advantage of B42 over other fitness apps?
B42 is built 100% for football players. The team combines the expertise of professional athletes, sports physicians, therapists, and coaches to make elite-level training knowledge accessible to amateurs.
What does training with B42 do for me?
It builds the fitness needed to perform at the highest level for a full 90 minutes, improves strength, endurance, speed, and agility, and also includes goalkeeper-specific content.
Which season phase can I train with B42 in?
In every phase: running training in winter, mobility and recovery during preseason, and ball-specific exercises during the season.
What is the B42 Gamechanger?
The Gamechanger automatically creates personalized 4-week training plans based on the season, performance level, position, and training frequency. No prior knowledge is needed.
How does the Playercard work?
Performance tests produce scores for strength, mobility, endurance, and speed. Players track their progress by retesting and compare themselves with other football players worldwide.
How do I protect myself from overtraining?
After the initial adjustment period, skip a session if you're very exhausted. Focus on pushing your limits rather than just checking workouts off a list, and listen to your body. Train to get better, not just to get it done.
