Dr. Toby Brooks discusses:
- How far player monitoring has come from the initial core temperature and cortisol levels analysis to the FitBit and Fuel Band to companies like Dr. John Cone’s Fit for 90.
- How player monitoring can allow coaches, performance coaches and athletic trainers to understand athletes like never before.
- How player monitoring supports Periodization.
- The balance between player monitoring and building a rapport with the players.
