    As a semi-serious aside ... this is part of the AMZN article yesterday that in my mind causes so many waves. I get trying to optimize performance and identifying high and low performers. No problem with that.

    The problem though comes from the fact that there's strengths and weaknesses in everything. The strength in data comes from the ability to identify unknown trends and make better decisions as a result. The weakness in data is that it can be gamed once people know what the desired outcomes are.

    In both situations, what the end result will be is that instead of investing in people and helping to make them better, what we will end up creating is a bunch of mercenary behavior where it's dog eats dog, everybody is competing at all hours looking for an edge, and burn out rates get super high.

    So they spent thousands on this new hi-tech system that measures things like speed, distance, acceleration, collisions, and more.

    So... what are they gonna do with the data?

    How does these devices make you a better coach? How do they plan to use the data to improve their kids?

    "Hey, this thing says you're not running fast enough. Run faster."

    Great fucking plan as always.

    I'm sure Alabama, Ohio State, The Seahawks, etc don't use new technology either.

    Baseball is a great sport for fat kids and pussies who are scared of contact sports.
