Good Fitness

I found this article from Yahoo sports, something that could really help out with any fitness issues we might have. We should get these for our team for sure.

Tottenham's stars are set to wear space-age shirts next season that will tell their manager when he needs to substitute them.

Spurs recently signed a new kit deal with American firm Under Armour, who are planning to include a computer embedded in each shirt which will detect when players are getting too tired to carry on, according to the Sunday Telegraph.

The shirts contain a series of sensors which send second-by-second updates about the player's heart rate, core body temperature, breathing rate and acceleration.

That data is fed to the coaching team in the dugout, who can monitor each of the men on the pitch and make decisions about who should be replaced.

The information won't just help the Spurs squad, however: plans are afoot to share the information with broadcasters so that fans can see how individual players are faring, raising intriguing prospects such as being able to see a striker's heartbeat change as he approaches the ball to take a penalty.

\"You can watch his heart rate as he waits to take the kick,\" says Under Armour's Mark Dowley. \"For the first time you can see inside an athlete as they perform. It adds to the drama.\"


Pretty intersting Jersey's eh? Could at least tell Dessie when to switch players.


The one thing technology like this can't tell you is the players who can play through adversity and the ones that can push themselves to their limit.  There could be a place for it but only as a piece of the puzzle.

Two words....Donny Singe

Fitness wasn't the issue, their hands were the problem 35% completion rate is unacceptable and we'll never win a game if that keeps up!!

Its a blip on the radar mark,pure ring rust and will be easily overcome
Expect to win 72-0 against the knights at brookvale after another hard fought loss to the roosters,16-14

If the opposition get their hands on the info they can then use it to target certain players.
