The things we do for science!

[Victoria University @victoriauninews]

He may look like a CGI movie model, but this is our @robaughey demonstrating the elaborate research he and his @TrackVU team conducted for @FIFAcom about offside technology that will debut at the World Cup. https://t.co/lqqIGxk2l9
He'll chat about it @abcmelbourne 774 show soon!

This was a tough one, hard data capture, tight timeline and a lot riding on the outcome. Proud of Track’s work here!

[TCG Advisory @TCG_Advisory]

We're proud to publicly announce our role in scientifically validating the limb-tracking technology component of the new semi-automated offside system to be used at FIFA World Cup 2022.

On my way!

[Prof Alfonso Jimenez @ProfA_Jimenez]

Usually I don’t share personal stuff but this one is to celebrate that Summer of 2021 is finally coming... Cooking rice & enjoying the best beer in the world (potentially...) under the sun 😎😎... ⁦@DrRobCopeland⁩ ⁦@wardsteve⁩ ⁦@dpozos⁩ ⁦@URIHealthSci⁩

[Prof Rob Aughey @robaughey]

And let’s use as many acronyms as possible to reduce all chances of understanding what is written 😉

[Franco Impellizzeri @francoimpell]

This may change the way we design training! Progression isn’t a constraint anymore! And let’s ban recovery weeks. Let’s see how this will be interpreted and used in practice by the ACWR supporters (or if ignored as previous similar findings) https://t.co/MFyIjLz0Ms

[TCG Advisory @TCG_Advisory]

The premier level of global football is no longer about the grassroots of sport, it is about hardcore business, monopolising resources, & maximising profits.

Are we more skilful practitioners and applied scientists because of technology use in sport? Perhaps not…

Dr @CarlWoods25 discusses the use of technology in sport and how its use can be a blessing, a curse and a remedy. https://t.co/UzpAI3n42i

Always a glass half full man hey Itamar! 🤣

Why everyone is so pessimistic? We can still meet the target of 4 million people vaccinated by the end of today. We are only 3.5 million people short.

A heart-wrenching / inspiring story about the beautiful, strong, resilient girls raised by my friend and colleague Professor Nigel Stepto and his equally strong resilient wife Fi. These girls have honoured their dad. If you can, donate a little, if you can’t just be inspired.

[The Project @theprojecttv]

Matilda and Harriet Stepto recently lost their dad to cancer. 12 months on, the young sisters are bravely turning tragedy into triumph.
