What are the differences between the applied and non-applied sports scientists? Joining us today is research and development professional and sports science analyst for the Seattle Seahawks, Dr. Patrick Ward. Patrick focuses on research and development in professional sport with an emphasis in data analysis in American football. We'll discuss his role for the Seahawks and what his models & processes look like. Then, we dive into the applied versus non-applied sports science debate and how you can utilize the latter to measure data closer to the scoreboard. How do you get through the noise and chaos? Is it possible to measure the hard intangibles? Where and when can you apply non-applied sports science? Tune in and find out what models make up the high performance sphere from the lens of a non-applied sports scientist!
