As the athletes on UT’s Women’s Soccer team gather on the Pepin Stadium field for practice, they lace up their cleats, stretch out stiff muscles and talk with each other about classes and college life. As they get ready, they each make their way to a black box filled with rows of cellphone-sized performance trackers they unplug and attach to a sports bra-like harness.
Those trackers are acquired from Catapult, which makes wearable GPS technology that provides athlete performance analytics. The technology is worn by many professional teams and Division I athletes, but it’s relatively new for Division II soccer.
With this source of objective data, coaches, athletic trainers, strength and conditioning coaches and sport scientists can work together to make decisions to personalize the training for each athlete.
