One of the reason’s Nick Saban hired David Ballou and Matt Rhea was so the team could approach things with a more innovative and cutting edge way.
It looks like that is already happening during the offseason and in the midst of social distancing as Saban revealed during his teleconference on Thursday that the players are wearing Apple watches to track their workouts.
Saban also appeared to be very pleased so far with the implementation of this these at home workouts, especially from Rhea.
“Dr. Rhea actually got a PhD, so his knowledge and experience in a lot of technical-type testing and stuff that you can do with players and the new training programs that we’re doing, the players really liked,” said Saban.
