These include the provision of context of why certain skills matter and for what, position-specific instructions, as well as training exercises which can be practiced individually or with other players. We have spent many years improving our knowledge on what it takes to continue to perform and succeed at the highest level. So when he compares himself from match to match, or to his teammates or to the benchmarks, he knows in what areas he needs to take action." Given the custom nature of the advice the app offers Catapult recommends syncing the device with the app right after a match or practice so it can provide up to date recovery information. The two devices, one for each foot, are housed in a flip-top charging case in the same style as popular wireless earbuds today. Attach the supplied USB-C cable to the case to charge the sensors for a few hours (the case itself will not charge the sensors when removed from an electrical connection). Once the case lights are orange, the devices are ready for pairing via Bluetooth. The App

This is a significant modern development. For years, players and coaches have had only their subjective observations and opinions to go on when deciding how a player is doing or how hard they are pushing themselves. The information provided is a great way to keep any player accountable and clearly show when someone isn’t working as hard as they can. You can see when you’re well-conditioned and also know when you haven’t put in quite as much effort as you should have!I also waited a long time to do this review because I was still hoping with the next software update, they would work better. One significant bit of attention to detail that I really appreciate about this vest this that the GPS pod will automatically turn on once you place it in the vest. This means that you don’t need to worry about forgetting to turn it on and missing out on your stats. The GPS pod does this for you and will stay on for the entire session. Another huge benefit of having this data available at your fingertips is that if and when you're having a conversation with a new coach or trainer, you'll be able to show them your players progress report. They say it is compatible with magnetic & BLE ‘arm-based’ monitors but won’t 100% guarantee any other heart rate monitor will be reliable with their product apart from the STATSports Magnetic HR monitor (chest strap) or Scosche Rhythm+ BLE HR monitor (arm strap).

So a huge draw-in for me was the fact that there is a one-year warranty on the hardware of the device and charging case. It is very easy to understand. Very accurate and gives you the information you need to improve your game. It shows you how often you passed the ball, in what intensity and how long you needed to release the ball again. The GPS pod contains a lithium-ion battery that should last for five hours on a single charge. This gives you the option of using it for multiple games without worrying about it running out of battery.I got the UNO for my middle schooler a few weeks ago and she's been able to use it now that the weather is nicer. It's easy to setup and get working. This technology gives my daughter and her coach the ability to measure her game (like ball speed, frequency of using her left foot vs. right foot). Already we've noticed a difference in the training regime since the analytics clearly showed a weak left foot. She's excited to work on her game and improve! Device setup was easy, strap up, start playing and see the data through the app. As far as the equipment goes, the weight is negligible, so she doesn't feel them at all while playing which is great. My personal philosophy is that I don't want to make players feel like data subjects at too young an age," he says.
