## What is ScanBeat?

IMPROVE YOUR FIELD AWARENESS WITH SCANBEAT

ScanBeat is the ultimate training tool for football players who want to master the art of scanning. Using Apple Watch haptic feedback, ScanBeat trains you to consistently check your surroundings on the field, leading to better decision-making and improved game performance.

WHAT IS SCANNING?

Scanning is the ability to quickly observe and assess the situation around you on the field. Elite players scan constantly, giving them a crucial advantage. Good scanning helps you:

- Make better decisions with the ball
- Anticipate opponent movements
- Find open teammates faster
- Avoid losing possession
- React quicker to changing situations

HOW IT WORKS

ScanBeat uses your Apple Watch to deliver tactile vibration signals during training. Each time your watch vibrates, it's a reminder to scan the field. This simple but effective method builds muscle memory and transforms scanning into an automatic habit.

FEATURES

- 5 PRESET PATTERNS
Choose from Beginner (5s), Intermediate (3s), Random, Pro (2s), or Legendary (1s) intervals to match your skill level

- CUSTOM INTERVALS
Create your own vibration pattern with intervals from 1-60 seconds

- APPLE WATCH INTEGRATION
Seamless sync between your iPhone and Apple Watch for effortless training

- VISUAL FEEDBACK
Watch app shows real-time status, pattern info, and vibration indicators

- FLEXIBLE TRAINING
Use during technical drills, small-sided games, or dedicated scanning sessions

- PROGRESSIVE SYSTEM
Start slow and gradually increase difficulty as your awareness improves

SUBSCRIPTION

ScanBeat requires a subscription to unlock training programs, learning articles and additional ongoing training updates. 
The Beginner program is available for a 15 minute free trial mode. 

WHY SCANBEAT?

Professional players scan between 0.5 and 0.8 times per second before receiving the ball. Amateur players? Not so much. This gap in awareness is one of the biggest differences between good and great players. ScanBeat helps bridge that gap through consistent, focused training.

TRAINING RECOMMENDATIONS

- Practice 3-4 times per week
- Start with 10-15 minute sessions
- Begin with the Beginner pattern (5 seconds)
- Progress to faster patterns as scanning becomes automatic
- Combine with your regular football training

PERFECT FOR

- Youth football players developing game awareness
- Amateur players looking to improve decision-making
- Coaches seeking effective training tools
- Any footballer wanting to play at a higher level

REQUIREMENTS

- iPhone running iOS 17.0 or later
- Apple Watch running watchOS 10.0 or later
- Active subscription after the 15 minute trial 

Start your journey to better field awareness today. Download ScanBeat and transform your game through improved scanning.
