The technology offers advantages for football in West Virginia

The technology in the game of football and the head coach of West Virginia, Rich Rodriguez, has put a long way that it certainly has a place.

The mountaineers use GPS trackers with players who show the speeds they meet in the course of the training, as well as the meters that a player hits.

The West essentially serves as a comprehensive view of the performance and movement of the players and at the same time provide insights into the prevention and planning of injuries.

It is nothing new for the West Virginia Football program, but it is something that Rodriguez certainly sees the advantages of especially in a key area.

“I think the best I get from it, or we get it from it, are probably the meters you get,” he said.

In the first training of spring, the average skill player received around 6,000 meters and the Linemen was 5,000, with the exception of one that somehow reached 8,500.

“I think he must have stopped his while driving home,” joked Rodriguez.

However, this data can be used in different ways and offer the trainer team an insight into the exercise of players and what can be learned from it.

The other aspect that is advantageous is communication between the helmet and helmet, especially in the quarterback, although Rodriguez admits that he does not respond to scream because of his preference. He describes this responsibility towards quarterback coach Rhett Rodriguez, which has much quieter behavior.

“He is the one who speaks to the quarterback,” he said.

And while the system is completed with 15 seconds on the music box, this should not be problems with the climbers, since the offensive is designed so that they quickly snap the ball from the game to playing. On the other side of the ball, this responsibility often goes to the linebackers and is just another way for coaching team and players to communicate and understand before one piece.

“It was a good help for her,” said Rodriguez.
