Last Thursday, Alabama head coach Nick Saban revealed how he and his staff are checking in on their players to ensure they are properly preparing for the upcoming season amidst the COVID-19 quarantine.
Rather than speaking over the phone or text, Alabama has its players wearing Apple Watches which help monitor heart rate during workouts, sleep patterns and more.
Saban also mentioned that new strength and conditioning coaches Dr. Matt Rhea and David Ballou were instrumental in in setting up this program.
Unfortunately for Saban and the Crimson Tide, their use of Apple Watches may be coming to a quicker end than originally intended.
