Introducing INSAIT JOY Smart Shin Guards: Advanced Soccer Tracker Technology

Youth and grassroots soccer are undergoing a technological revolution, with technologies transforming the way we play, train, and engage with the sport.

In the past years, “player tracking technologies” were only the luxuries for elite clubs. And that’s the reason why at Gengee we created INSAIT JOY Smart Shin Guards, a groundbreaking innovation revolutionising youth and grassroots soccer in exciting new ways.

In this article, we invite you to discover some of the extraordinary features and benefits that make INSAIT JOY stand out.

The Concept: Soccer Reimagined

INSAIT JOY Smart Shin Guards seeks to incorporate player tracking technology with gamifications and incentives, in order to

  • Make advanced wearable technology accessible to everyone;
  • Stimulate and incentivise player development and engagement; and
  • Connect the players and strengthen the existing football communities.

INSAIT JOY seamlessly integrate enhanced processing units and advanced sensor technology with shin guards. Through a mobile application, INSAIT JOY provides players and coaches with 16 core metrics, enabling them to gain a competitive edge by unlocking a deeper understanding of their strength and weakness, thus maximizing performance like never before.

    Since the concept being realized into a product 3 years ago, INSAIT JOY has garnered recognition from thousands of soccer players, coaches, clubs and organisations worldwide, earning it a spot as one of the five finalists in the 2022 UEFA Reimagine Football Challenge - an initiative launched by UEFA, KNVB, City Football Group and Johan Cruijff ArenA.

     

    Why Smart "Shin Guards"?

    Unlike traditional soccer wearable technologies that place trackers in vests, calf sleeves or cleat straps, INSAIT JOY places the trackers in shin guards. A key factor is that with the form of a standard soccer equipment, INSAIT JOY is designed to make the player (or opponents) feel nothing at all other than a fine pair of shin guards. They protect the user while at the same time measuring performance. The trackers are 100% embedded so that players can enjoy the game while it won’t give them any feeling of foreign objects.

    "We thought about many different hardware forms than shin guards at the early stage of development, such as vests, calf sleeves, trackers on cleat straps, knees, or even ankles." David Chen, CEO of Gengee explains. "But in the end, shin guards stand out as the optimal solution, because we don't want the users to feel distracted by some foreign objects, or keep worrying that their trackers may fall off, damaged or hurt themselves or even the opponents during body contacts."

    App Gamification

    We understand that complex statistical reports can be overwhelming and unengaging, especially for youth players and amateurs. That's why our apps seamlessly integrates tracking data with attractive and easily comprehensible concepts. Gamification elements such as FIFA-like player rating cards, level up, leaderboards, achievements and trends add an extra layer of motivation, discipline, and fostering a sense of accomplishment and healthy competition among players.

    At Gengee, we are committed to reversing the decline in soccer participation rates and increasing drop-out rates by inspiring greater engagement in the sport. Our software design captivates players' attention, fueling their passion for the game and creating a community-driven platform that nurtures growth, camaraderie, and long-term commitment.
