There's a nice article in The Athletic about 50 freak athletes in college football. In the section for Rondale Moore there was an interesting blurb about Catapult which is a GPS monitoring system for athletes. Do we currently utilize anything like this? Seems like something Manny would be all over since it ties analytics into training for peak performance.
“We wear Catapult (Athlete GPS Tech) like most teams. What we found is that Rondale will hit a minimum of 21 mph every time he steps foot on the field, regardless of designed practice tempo,” Lovett says. “Rondale also routinely doubles the volume of the next closest player. This means he is running faster than everyone else while doubling up on reps. He is full speed all the time. His practice load would be higher than most game loads we typically see. His game loads blew us away when we saw them for the first time. We have been forced to keep a pitch count on him so to speak just to keep him within acceptable practice and training volume ranges.”
