This article summarizes the authors' activities in conducting market research on data needs for the Putra Mangun Jaya amateur football club and describes how Putra Mangun Jaya collaborated with the authors to become one of the regional amateur clubs that has data analysis as a basis for player development and policy making. The author has developed the Mangunjaya Watch digital application, which is a watch technology that can be used by football players at Putra Mangun Jaya to detect the players' physical endurance or what is called a performance record player.
