Episode notes
Track Few Key Jump Metrics
- Use simple, repeatable force-plate KPIs like jump height, left-right braking asymmetry, RSI-mod and time-to-takeoff.
- Monitor percent-change over 1–2 weeks and act when metrics deviate ~10–15% from baseline.
Data-Led Intervention At Illinois
- Drake described flagging an athlete's asymmetry and coordinating massage, nutrition and athletic training for intervention.
- The athlete reported feeling better by game time after the targeted intervention.
Tech Should Free Coaching Time
- Good sports-tech balances data management with coaching time; tools should free coaches to focus on conversations.
- AI should increase accessibility so non-experts get actionable insights, not raw numbers.
