Great write up on new Director of Sports Science

Begs to ask, what else haven’t we been doing all these years?
Ha. You're better off asking what few things have we been doing. There are countless lowly *message board posters* who've done deep dives into our general infrastructure weaknesses and apathetic approach. It's nice a group of influential people finally cared and realized this will benefit the entire f'in university.

Remember when Golden had to beg for training tables in like 2012/13?? Woooof!

Wow. Our budget must be tremendous. A Director of Sports Science is definitely something "extra" that msot schools won't have. And personally I'd rather see extras like this rather than indoor slides. Not only does this make the athlete better, but the more serious athlete (the ones every school is hoping to recruit) will appreciate this type of investment more than a slide.

People think Feld is going to supply them with the famous protein shakes. Thats true.

This dude will be the one mixing the protein. Have fun.

Good stuff. Data and analytics matter.

Those GPS systems are cool. You have your athletes all get their HRmax, then you have various conditioning drills where you want everyone to be within a certain heart rate range, say between 85-100%, with everyone connected to a central monitor that I'm sure the coaches can see. Then you carry out the session.

It's pretty easy to tell who is actually working and who is bull****ting. You can literally see who isn't working the way that they should, you might be able to fool a coach but you can't fool the computer. :)

Ok cool, but when are we going to get Dr. Ferrari?

It begs the question, what exactly did we do with all that data coming from those monitors that we used even with Manny coached teams? Did Feeley just dump all of it into a spreadsheet and see who was running the fastest?
