Almost all Division I football programs use some form of sports science, but Rhule is taking head coaching enthusiasm for it to a new level.
Their near-perfect harmony with the 48-year-old Rhule and his coaching staff is essential.At the heart of Rhule’s quest to turn Nebraska into a national leader in innovation through data analysis and intervention sits Cholewinski.for years has tracked players’ movement in practices and assessed the information in a performance lab. But it’s never employed a coordinator of football sports science. It’s not gone to the next level in taking action based on what the data reveals.
Cholewinski carried iPads around before football practice, asking the players to fill out a wellness questionnaire. After practice, as they walked off the field, he’d survey them, on a scale of 1 to 5, about the difficulty of the workouts. His access to technology jumped. Cholewinski took data from practice sessions and put it to use. For example, if a defensive lineman’s player load, one of the key metrics, showed a lag, Cholewinski could flag him and identify that a hamstring issue had caused the drop. He might prescribe a lightening of reps in practice or the weight room and suggest a massage or cold tub.Advertisement
Information gathered from the Catapult vector units produces three key metrics for a healthy athlete: player load, high-velocity yardage and change of direction, which measures high-force acceleration and deceleration. But at practice, everything is on the table. Nebraska has 120 Catapult vests. Injured players wear them in rehab, too, allowing Cholewinski to monitor their progress and inform the training and medical staff of progress and needed adjustments.
