Seattle Sounders FC players may already be some of the most measured athletes in soccer, but they can add biometric 3D video scanning to their daily regimen after the team announced its latest sports science partnership.
The Sounders science and training staff, headed by Dave Tenney, always want more data points. Their goal is to measure which players are fit, how they are recovering, and even to try to predict injury, or at least the risk of injury. An "early warning system," Sounders Sports Scientist Ravi Ramineni calls it, and it just got a little more advanced.
