Adidas is introducing a new “intelligent” soccer shoe called the Adizero F50 Boot that will be able to track and monitor player’s performance using a “SPEED CELL” chip that is placed in bottom of the shoe.
iPads seem to be making their way more and more into professional sports. Just the other day I wrote about how the NFL is adopting the iPad for playbooks for a few teams. It’s only a matter of time before all NFL teams will be using them. Now MLB is also utilizing the powers of the iPad to help players review stats, plays and improve performance. I would say before we know it, all major sports will be using the iPad in one way or another in two years or less.
Football season is upon us with pre-season underway. The NFL is adapting to technology for the 2011 season. Several teams have signed on to use the iPad as their official method for players to view their playbook.
