You're a talented writer, Sam. This was informative/nerdy and I almost spit out my coffee laughing a couple times. A few questions: 1. This measures durability, which we know he has. A key question is pace/change of direction. For this, do they use tracking data (comparing prior years) and historical data from other players to predict the future? 2. Do they use the same equipment on other key leg muscle groups (e.g. groin/quad) and 3. Does this only happen at the medical after you've spent weeks/months negotiating or is this assessed upstream to avoid wasting time?
why you gotta put this evil on us? can you rewrite and drop the bit about the achilles? kill another turtle if you have to.
Sam and Joe, I need a podcast right now from y’all like I need air. Come on boys!
Fantastic article! Enjoyed the detailed explanation of how the hamstring is measured and qualified.
