Putting the i back in team

© 2018 Human Kinetics, Inc. There is a common expression in sports that "there is no 'I' in team." However, collectively, there is actually a very important "I" in sport teams-the individual athlete/player. Each player has his or her own unique characteristics including physical, physiological, and psychological traits. Due to these unique characteristics, each player requires individual provision-whether it be an injury risk profile and targeted prevention strategy or treatment/rehabilitation for injury, dietary regimen, recovery, or psychological intervention. The aim of this commentary is to highlight how 4 high-performance teams from various professional football codes are analyzing individual player data.
