Austin FC has announced a strategic partnership with Teamworks, adopting its comprehensive Athlete Management System (AMS) to enhance their approach to athlete data and performance management. Ryan Thamm, in his role as Head of Rehabilitation & Sports Science, sees the platform’s potential to advance the club’s performance initiatives.
Drawing from his deep understanding of the organization’s needs, Thamm recognized an opportunity to enhance the club’s technological infrastructure. “As we analyzed areas for improvement in the offseason, we saw an opportunity to reassess how technology could better serve our athletes and staff,” said Thamm. “We wanted a solution that would give us the flexibility to experiment with different reporting approaches and find meaningful insights that directly improve athlete outcomes. Teamworks emerged as the clear choice to help us achieve these goals.”
The Teamworks AMS implementation offers Austin FC a plug-and-play solution that can be customized and deployed rapidly across performance departments. The platform’s flexible architecture allows for seamless integration of various data sources and reporting tools, while its intuitive interface enables staff to configure dashboards and modify workflows without technical expertise. This adaptability means the club can quickly implement new performance tracking methods, adjust communication protocols, and refine data visualization approaches as their needs evolve.
“What really stood out about Teamworks was the platform’s ability to grow and adapt with us,” Thamm explained. “Having the flexibility to iterate and experiment with different approaches in real-time means we can continuously improve how we support our athletes.”
Andrew Trimble, Senior Director of Athletic Performance at Teamworks, sees this partnership as part of a broader trend in professional soccer. “We’re proud to have established strong partnerships across both MLS and NWSL, where teams are recognizing the value of a flexible, plug-and-play solution,” Trimble said. “Our expanding presence in professional soccer and global football reflects our commitment to evolving alongside the sport. We’re excited to build alongside Austin FC and other forward-thinking organizations who understand that the future of athlete management lies in adaptable, user-friendly platforms that can evolve with their needs.”
This partnership represents more than just a technology upgrade – it’s a strategic move to enhance Austin FC’s ability to support their athletes and staff effectively. By choosing Teamworks, the club has positioned itself to take advantage of cutting-edge athlete management capabilities while ensuring their systems can scale and adapt to future needs.
