Darren Burgess on the use of technology in soccer

Here’s an excerpt….click on the header for the full article.

8:30am ? woke up, turned off my sleep sensor, apparently I slept 5 hours straight, pretty good after a night game, especially considering the caffeine I took before the game.

8:35am ? sent my Heart Rate Variability file through via my iPhone, apparently I?m a ?warning?.

9am ? just before I left for training my phone started beeping again, forgot to send my sleep scores through, hope I?m not fined for that.

9:30am ? arrived at training ground. Inputted my info into the wall computer?Weight = 80kg, Muscle Soreness = 7, Energy = 7, Overall Well Being = 7. I think that?s what I normally put after each game. Noticed that someone put 120kg next to Smithy?s weight? pretty funny.

9:35am ? filled in my pee cup, can?t believe someone has to analyse all of these.

10am ? after breakfast I had to lay down for 10mins on the Omegawave. Only problem is they won?t let me use my phone and I almost fell asleep. Still, it?s far better than the blood they take tomorrow for my muscle damage.
