Aha! Nova players wear wired uniforms to enhance performance and win national championships. From the WSJ:
Elite Juiced Jocks
Why athletes in America’s big five professional leagues—plus the NCAA—are getting sensored
“This technology isn’t the future of sports: It’s here now,” said John Shackleton, Villanova University’s basketball strength coach. He’s talking about wearable workout tech designed for elite athletes.
For three years, Mr. Shackleton, who helped Villanova win the 2016 NCAA men’s championship, has worked with the Polar Team Pro system, used by more than 150 NCAA teams, 50 pro soccer teams, 13 NFL teams, five NBA teams and five NHL teams. The platform’s pièce de résistance is the new sensor-embedded Polar Team Pro Shirt, which sends live metrics to an iPad so coaches can see which players are over- or under-working, among other data. “It has allowed us to gain quantifiable data,” said Polar-user Chandler Geller, the strength and conditioning coach for the MLB’s Texas Rangers.
