Spotlight Snippet: Technology is the New Co-Trainer

Description

Fitbit, Garmin and Apple Watch are already common health tools. They have changed our way of exercising and how we track our daily life. Next generation wearables will give the hobby athlete advice on how to train and exercise correctly. Woven in textures of sportswear from sole to cap and even in sporting tools like balls and paddles, they will be able to take over the role of a trainer and coach. Future wearables can monitor whether movements are done properly and will give specific feedback. So they are both able to improve the individual performance and also prevent possible injuries from training without an actual coach. In this snippet you will not only learn about this emerging technology, but how to really embrace it to allow you to focus on the many other important aspects for your athletes (i.e. social and emotional well-being, careers within the sport, leadership, etc.)
