While it is possible to watch how athletes are performing during a sporting match, adidas and Major League Soccer are taking it to the next level. And while coaches essentially “guess” from what they can see, and what the players say, micoach professional soccer team tracking system provides coaches with real time performance metrics on the field of play including player position, power output, speed, distance covered, intensity of play, acceleration and GPS heat mapping.
This technology will see its debut during the 2012 AT&T MLS All-Star Game on July 25 in Philadelphia, which promises to be the world’s first “smart soccer match” and will feature the new micoach professional soccer team tracking system.
“adidas has always been known as a pioneer, an innovator and an industry-leader when it comes to the sport of soccer,” said MLS Commissioner Don Garber. “It is an honor that they have chosen to debut their new game-changing and revolutionary technology at this year’s AT&T MLS All-Star Game in Philadelphia. adidas has quickly become a leader in sports analytics and we believe our All-Star Game will serve as the perfect opportunity to introduce the new micoach professional soccer team tracking system.”
We’ll be curious to see if this technology eventually makes it to soccer moms around the world!
