Warstic: Performance Tracking
A redesigned platform that helps athletes track progress, set goals, and improve performance through real-time data and intelligent design.
Premium bats for serious athletes, but no digital layer means no way to measure performance, track improvement, or build mental toughness. The goal: bridge hardware and software to make Warstic a complete training system for both body and mind.
Starting point
Prioritized features
Prioritized core feature visibility to help users easily navigate the app and understand how it supports performance improvement.
Goal: visualize a great idea
Brought the concept to life by designing a visual experience that demonstrates how the product would function in real use.
I was reminded of my why. As an athlete, I know firsthand that peak performance isn't just physical; it's 70% mental. Premium equipment can only take you so far.This project explored a new dimension of Warstic, bridging hardware with the human side of sport to create a connected experience that not only tracks what athletes do, but empowers how they think, compete, and grow.
Areas of improvement
Outdated interface design
The overall UI lacked a modern, intuitive feel, and did not reflect the performance-driven nature of the product.
Limited focus on mental performance
The initial concept emphasized physical metrics but overlooked the importance of mental health and mindset.
Insufficient prototype depth
The prototype lacked detailed flows and interactions, making it harder to fully communicate the product's functionality and real-world use.
Lack of goal setting
The experience did not provide a clear system for setting goals or tracking long-term progress over time.
The rebuild
Prioritized UI
Prioritized a full app revamp to deliver a modern, streamlined UI that made navigation intuitive and decisions clear for users.
Emphasized the mental performance UX
Elevated the mental performance experience by introducing a daily quotes feature and an interactive psychology section, bringing the mental side of the game to the forefront.

Looking back
- Achieved a significantly more modern and polished UI from the initial prototype
- Mental performance emphasis came through clearly in the final design
- Delivered a comprehensive prototype that effectively brought the new UX features to life
- Incorporate real company data to better inform and align design decisions
- Establish the importance of mental performance earlier in the user journey
- Tailor training plans around each athlete's short- and long-term goals
Though a concept project, this work demonstrated the potential for a brand like Warstic to extend beyond their product and into the athlete's full performance journey. It showed that with the right digital layer, premium equipment can become the foundation of a smarter, more complete training experience.
