Stand Out When It Matters Most

Football tryouts, scouting combines, and talent evaluations are high-pressure opportunities where your performance can open doors to new levels of competition. Whether you're aiming to join a top-tier team, get noticed by scouts, or simply prove yourself, how you prepare makes all the difference.

The good news? You don't need access to a pr facility or expensive equipment to get ready. With the Smart Timer app, players can train with precision, track their progress, and step into tryouts with the confidence of knowing their numbers.

Why Objective Data Matters

At every level of competition, scouts and coaches want to see measurable performance. Whether it’s your speed, agility, or ball control, having real data sets you apart from the crowd.

Eliminates guesswork – You’ll know exactly where you stand.
Boosts confidence – Walking into tryouts with data builds trust in your abilities.
Improves performance – Tracking progress gives you clear goals to work toward.

How Smart Timer Helps You Prepare

No need for a coach or a stopwatch—just your phone, space to move, and the will to improve.

Here's how to get started:

1. Choose the Key Tests

Train the same metrics scouts and coaches focus on:
- 10m & 30m Sprints – Speed is one of the most in-demand attributes.
- Agility Drills – Like the 5-0-5 or T-Test, which show your change-of-direction ability.
- Dribbling Challenges – Demonstrate control under pressure.

2. Track and Analyze Results

Each time you complete a test, Smart Timer saves your time and compares it to others in your age group and gender. You’ll know how you stack up—and where you need to improve.

3. Set Personal Goals

Trying to shave 0.2 seconds off your sprint? Smart Timer keeps your goal visible and pushes you to beat your personal best. That kind of determination shows when scouts are watching.

Bonus: Share Your Progress

With Smart Timer, you can:
- Share results directly with coaches or scouts
