Um, and I think we just over indexed on, um, what those two hours were actually doing to the athletes. And, you know, we had internal load, we'd external load, we had some, you know, subjective markers. Right.

So we were really, I think covering our basis in terms of all the things that we could, you know, quantify during a training session, but yeah, when they showed up the next day, what we did in the training session actually didn't predict their readiness next day. And so the challenge with that is, you know, it's, it's hard to plan practices. It's hard to understand.

It's hard to individualize training, right? When, you know, how you are going to respond to a training session, for example, is going to be very different for me. So, um, You know, we started and this is, you know, 15, 16 years ago, we're like, all right, you know, it's not just the two hours of the training. It is the other 22 hours of the day that are having more of an impact.

Let's start to unpack those 22 hours. And that's when we started to go really deep into sleep, sleep patterns, sleep architecture, sleep timing. We started looking at, you know, macronutrient intake. We got a little bit more robust technology. um, to, to look at actually what the athletes were burning during a training session, um, first beat technology that you probably are familiar with it.

Um, and you know, we looked at hydration and we started building these models and, um, and actually built a technology, um, and some algorithms to be able to understand hydration levels, understand caloric intake, um, understand sleep patterns, and really try to develop a model around readiness that could account for the 24-hour period.

Wow. I mean, that's like way ahead of your time. I mean, you still won 12 league titles in 13 seasons. So I mean, something was working, whatever you were doing. But I would imagine that early in some of those league championships, you weren't really down the rabbit hole in those other 23 hours.

No, we absolutely weren't. We knew that we were leaving something on the table. I think that's where, as a coach, I didn't want to leave anything on the table. I really wanted to help my athletes optimize their potential on the field and off the field. I felt a lot of my responsibility as a coach was to educate them, right?
