Smarter Growth Insights for Coaches

Track and manage athlete growth to tailor training, manage risk, and communicate with clarity.

A Letter To Our Teams

Welcome to MatCalc 2.0

MatCalc 2.0 is a giant leap forward — a step-change in the predictive power of the Khamis-Roche calculator that coaches know and use in practice.

Why “2.0”?

Because we’ve taken a simple height-and-weight calculation and built something much more powerful:

  • Predict key milestones in growth with greater accuracy
  • Flag surface-level risk factors before they appear and start compounding
  • Continuously improve through an evolving normative dataset and machine learning

Just like Web1.0 became Web2.0 — and now Web3.0 — MatCalc 2.0 is evolving. We’re building tools to give coaches and parents smarter forecasting and better squad management.

Where It Started

MatCalc was born from my curiosity as a coach.

Over 15 years working with athletes, I found myself asking:

  • “They’re at 82% predicted adult height... but how long until PHV?”
  • “If I wait even a month to test again, will I miss the risk window?”
  • “How long does PHV actually last? Is it different for everyone?”
  • “When can I take advantage of post-PHV training opportunities?”

I knew we could do more — so I set out to find a better answer.

Enter George — The Wizard

Collaborating with George has been a journey — and we’re thrilled to bring the results to market.

What Is MatCalc 2.0?

MatCalc 2.0 has two views:

  • Parent view — parents manage athlete profiles and access.
  • Coach view — coaches manage teams, track history, and upload data.

Parents link to your organisation via a secure code. Once connected, you can:

  • View full test history for each athlete
  • Add your own test results immediately
  • Bulk upload 50+ measures in one click
  • Share data with parents and export it instantly

Built for Coaches Like You

Our coaches’ platform is a game-changer for squad management. You can now group athletes by:

  • Age group
  • Biological age
  • Maturation status

You’ll also receive automated retest reminders — so no milestones are missed.

Our Philosophy: Athlete-Centred. Parent-Owned.

We’ve designed MatCalc 2.0 with best-in-class coaching tools and the highest data privacy standards:

  • Parents create and manage athlete profiles
  • They control who sees what
  • Unlinking removes coach access — but parents retain full history
  • Fully aligned with GDPR for Category 1 children’s data

Why That Matters

Some organisations want to store athlete data directly. But doing so independently can create legal risk. MatCalc 2.0 is built to solve that:

  • Industry-leading GDPR compliance
  • Built with input from legal and data security experts
  • Secure, scalable, and parent-controlled

Thanks for being part of this journey with us.
