The founder

Pacen Vandermeer. Built from the touchline.

Eight years inside the game — coaching grassroots, scouting at academy level, and building performance reports for semi-professional clubs across the Netherlands and the UK.

The thread through all of it: turning messy match data into language a player or coach can actually use on Monday morning. No buzzwords. No dashboards nobody opens. Just clear answers to the question that started everything — what do we do next?

The story

Built from years on the touchline and behind the screen, Pace combines tactical understanding with modern analytics. Pacen has worked with players and coaches across grassroots, academy and semi-pro environments, helping them turn information into improvement.

The methodology

Every project starts with the same question: what decision are we trying to make? From there, we build the right blend of data, video and context — no buzzwords, no fluff. Just clear insight you can actually act on.

Clarity

Reports you can read in 5 minutes.

Honesty

We tell you what the data really shows.

Action

Every insight ends with a next step.
