What your data šŸ“Š CANNOT tell you šŸ¤”šŸ¤·ā€ā™‚ļø...
I'm a massive fan of performance data. All my players collect training data to some degree, and I'm sure you do to. It's an absolutely CRITICAL part of my coaching, and I'd be guessing a LOT without it. There's piles of value in these numbers, but it's not an oracle. Consider the pic below. This is friendly match data from a couple of my players via Polar H10 sensors (the BEST sensor on the market BTW...). This data might be "neat" or "interesting" to some of you. But for most, the value stops there. Here's what you can absolutely understand from this data. Player A worked harder and for longer than Player B. And that's about it. Honestly. EVERYTHING ELSE IS AN ASSUMPTION. You CANNOT tell: -who won -who is fitter -hits better lines -who volleys more -who hits more tin -who makes better decisions But that's not what this type of data is for...do you know what this data CAN be used for? Comment below! Here's a hint: it's SUPER important šŸ˜‰

Considering getting one of these (Polar H10) as I have not tracked any fitness metrics during my training or matches for quite a while. My hope is that it can help me keep track of how much time I am spending in different HR zones, and cross-reference that with how I am feeling during training to make sure I don't go past the point of no return. Is that what you would use the data for @Derek Vandenbrink ?
