Season 7: Recap - Wearable Technology
In this recap of Chapter 7: Wearable Technology, Alex and Adam reflect on the key insights from Josh Rice (Tottenham Hotspur) and Joel Carter (Crystal Palace FC) — two practitioners redefining how data is applied inside elite football environments.
They explore how wearable technology has evolved beyond tracking numbers — becoming a vital communication and decision-making tool. From GPS and heart-rate data to acceleration profiling and live session feedback, the discussion highlights how practitioners use technology to enhance performance, not restrict it.
The three pillars — periodisation, fitness change, and injury risk — frame the conversation, while Joel’s developmental focus shows how wearable data can bridge the gap between science and coaching. Together, their insights demonstrate how context, collaboration, and clarity transform raw data into meaningful performance strategies.
