The Catapult tracking system is one of many tools men's soccer uses to gain an in-depth understanding of its players.
There is a new set of eyes on men’s soccer players this season, and it is not just coaches, scouts or supporters – it’s satellites.
Marquette is using Catapult, a global positioning system monitoring device that measures various internal and external statistics, to help coaches understand how hard a player is working and how well they are standing up to the pace of a given practice or game.
Prozone and InStat are also analytical tools that help understand what worked and what went wrong during a particular game.
