3. Why Player Monitoring at HS?
We Already Utilized & Didn’t Know It
2015
Football Team goes further in the Playoffs than any team in School History
Coaches were questioning their own decisions
2016
Conference Re-Alignment

4. Taking A Different Approach
“The Australian Model”
GPS Tracking- Catapult
Velocity Based Training- Weight Up
Wellness Questionnaires- Teambuildr/Kinduct

5. Catapult (GPS)
Goals: Mitigate Injury, Enhance Performance, Validate Training
Running Symmetry
(High Speed) Distance
Player Load
Speed (mph)
(Heart Rate)

6. Catapult (GPS) Running Symmetry 5 % or > we raise an eyebrow
10% or over we raise as red flag
Numbers can also be relative to number of foot strikes
1,000 foot strikes in a practice compared to 10,000

7. Catapult (GPS) Distance
High Speed Distance (yards) is any distance covered in zone 4 to 6
Algorithm of HR and MPH
165 BPM or > and 13 MPH or >

8. Catapult (GPS) Player Load Acute Load Chronic Load
10 day average emphasis on the last three days
Chronic Load
28 day average
