1.When the Florida State University (FSU) Seminoles won the National Championship in 2014, many marveled at how the Seminoles had remained practically immune to injuries throughout the course of the season. They accomplished this by implementing new wearable technology and monitoring in practices, where coaches were able to monitor player performance and health (including metrics such as heart rate) in real-time and adjust accordingly. These sorts of metrics were previously not available in real-time. The result was an 88% decrease in soft tissue injuries after implementing the new monitoring system.
