New this season for the Charlotte women’s basketball team is technology that allows for players to become more aware of what’s going on inside their bodies.
Assistant strength and conditioning coach Ryan Nosak pioneered the idea for the players to use the technology after he heard about other programs been using it.
“When we’re on the road, I do my best to get out and meet other coaches. I would go out and talk to the other coaches about how they’re training their athletes. Most of the bigger basketball schools were using heart rate monitors to track the stress that their athletes were under,” Nosak said.
