#45: turfcoach, Christian Theil - Turning The Surface Into Your Home Advantage

Written By David Goncalves

In Episode 45 of our LeCorner International podcast series, we had the pleasure of hosting Christian Theil, CEO and Founder of our client, turfcoach, in a long overdue episode.

Christian begins by offering a glimpse into his background and experiences in the agricultural industry. Recognising the unique requirements of grass and after discussions with grounds managers regarding their challenges, he pinpointed a gap in the industry that could be addressed through the use of data, thus giving rise to turfcoach. The episode also sheds light on:

  • The benefits of turf data to multiple stakeholders within a sports organisation

  • How 'intelligence scheduling' can support grounds managers in best preparing their pitches

  • How sustainability concerns can be addressed within a club by adopting turfcoach's cost-saving software solution

  • How players can reduce the risk of injuries by better understanding the surface powered by data.

Christian and turfcoach have embarked on a mission to revolutionise the sports industry with their AI-driven turf data platform, aiming to level the playing field for all involved.
