Is Technology Making Hockey Smarter or Softer?
Welcome to Episode 39 - Is Technology Making Hockey Smarter or Softer? 🎥
Hosts Jeff Lerg and Chris Palmer open up the discussion centered on the role of technology in modern hockey and its implications. We dive into both its benefits and potential drawbacks, emphasizing how the sport has evolved and what the increasing attempts to quantify various aspects of the game are.
Episode highlights:
- While current technology offers benefits like instant feedback and in-game video review, there can be drawbacks to excessive technological integration.
- The contrast between modern technology use and how it was used during Jeff Lerg's playing days at Michigan State (05'-09') and beyond, where video review was minimal - approximately once per week.
- How hockey's subjective nature makes it challenging to quantify all aspects of the game, unlike more straightforward sports such as running.
- Importance of finding balance in technology usage for athlete development.
- Why recognizing human elements beyond digital metrics in player evaluation is key to overall development.
