Inside the Titans Data-Driven Approach to Year-Round Player Development

Introduction

For Zac Woodfin, Director of Sports Performance for the Tennessee Titans, building a high-performance culture doesn’t end when the season does. With a roster of elite athletes spread across the country during the offseason, keeping players progressing—physically and functionally—requires more than spreadsheets and good intentions. That’s where TeamBuildr Strength enters the picture.

The Titans use TeamBuildr Strength not just as a delivery system for workouts, but as a tool for year-round accountability, data tracking, and individualized programming that matches the needs of every position group.

Challenges

Before adopting TeamBuildr, Woodfin and his staff faced a common NFL challenge: delivering custom training programs in the offseason that were both efficient and trackable.

With athletes training remotely after a long and physically demanding season, the Titans needed a solution that could:

• Deliver individualized workouts based on position group and athlete experience (rookies vs. vets).
• Track progress and ensure compliance from afar.
• Collect reliable performance data heading into the postseason.
• Allow coaches to monitor mobility, recovery, and overall readiness for the upcoming preseason.

Without a centralized system, the process of distributing, evaluating, and adjusting offseason training was disjointed and time-consuming.

Solution

To streamline offseason performance programming, the Titans turned to TeamBuildr Strength. The staff implemented the platform to organize and distribute position-specific training plans—splitting players into skill, trench, and rookie groups. With workouts tailored to each athlete’s needs, the Titans could ensure appropriate load, focus, and recovery.

Data collected within the TeamBuildr Strength app helps coaches evaluate progress and establish training targets heading into the postseason.

In the summer, workouts shift toward recovery, with an emphasis on mobility and general movement. TeamBuildr makes it simple to deliver this programming and adjust it based on player needs. Coaches can see whether athletes completed their workouts, what weights were used, and how players are recovering—all without waiting for athletes to return to the facility.

Results

With TeamBuildr, the Tennessee Titans have transformed their offseason approach from reactive to proactive. Coaches now have a complete picture of player readiness and performance across the entire calendar year.

By delivering individualized training and tracking progress in real time, the Titans are better prepared heading into training camp—reducing guesswork and increasing athlete accountability.

For a league where every edge matters, TeamBuildr has become an integral part of how the Titans manage development, recovery, and performance year-round.
