EchoDepth Sport vs Catapult
Catapult measures what the body does. EchoDepth measures what the mind carries into performance. Both matter. Neither alone is enough.
| Dimension | Catapult | EchoDepth Sport |
|---|---|---|
| Primary data | GPS, accelerometry, heart rate | Facial emotional signal (FACS) |
| What it measures | Physical load & output | Psychological state & readiness |
| Deployment | GPS vest, worn during training/match | Camera-based, pre/post match, comms |
| Coaching signal | Distance covered, sprint count | Emotional composure, confidence index |
| Welfare use | Injury risk flags | Psychological welfare baseline |
Why the two are complementary
A player can be physically fresh and psychologically depleted. Catapult sees the former. EchoDepth sees the latter. Elite clubs deploying both get the complete readiness picture — physical load data and emotional state data in the same dashboard.
When EchoDepth fills the gap
Catapult cannot tell you why a player is underperforming when the physical metrics look fine. EchoDepth can — by surfacing the psychological signal that precedes the performance dip.
