Limpert Tech "SullyCast" on ALT 105.7 and iHeartRadio - Getting 'Tech Ready' for Football Season

Rick and Sully have been anticipating the start of football season.

Camps are open and the pre-season games have started in the NFL.

The Super Bowl is even in Atlanta this year!

College student-athletes are reporting and practices are ongoing.

What's new in tech this football season, on the field and off?
 

Have a listen:

1.  The HALO Shirt - may reduce concussions
About $100  - Available in October

Advanced Exoskeletal Systems (AEXOS) is now offering a new technology called HALO that promises to reduce whiplash when you’re playing a high-impact game like football. The technology, which the brothers started developing in 2015, has been endorsed by Safe 4 Sports, an organization that advocates for injury prevention among athletes.

The HALO is, at first blush, a compression shirt that you can wear under your uniform. But it comes with an “impact responsive collar” that sits against the back of your neck to fortify your vertebrae. A silicone-based postural support system is built into the shirt to safeguard major muscle groups along your upper body.
 

2. GPS Technology on the football field

How about a look into how much kids are running in games versus practice to kind of cater towards conditioning and prepare them for the season.

Some teams are partnered up with Sports Performance Track to utilize GPS player tracker technology to capture crucial practice and game information on speed, endurance, intensity and individual athletic exertion.
This is info teams have never has before.

3. Hudl
www.hudl.com

Hudl is software offers tools to edit and share film for coaches, and the ability for players to make recruitment videos for colleges. According to its website, Hudl has more than 160,000 active teams and 4.3 million unique visitors from around the world, including teams in North America, South America, Asia, Africa and Europe.
For any football coach, Hudl is a hub and just part of the everyday experience.
 

4. Your Call Football - for fans
www.cantina.co

Your Call Football—known as YCF— combines entertainment, sports innovation, and advanced technology to put fans at the center of live sporting events by letting them control the action on the field. For the first time, fans can impact the game by voting on plays. They can then see how their votes affect the game in real-time.
It's gamifying the football we watch on TV. Now there is a "game within the game."
 

5. LG C8: The best TV for watching sports
www.lg.com

$2000-3000 depending on screen size
The C8 has excellent motion handling due to its fast response time and its ability to clear up blur. The gray uniformity is very good, and the dirty screen effect is not an issue when watching sports. The image remains accurate when viewed from the side, and it's suitable for large rooms unlike similarly premium models like the Samsung Q9FN. The picture quality is great due to the perfect blacks and wide color gamut.
 

6. NFL Mobile App  $99.00 for the entire year $24.99/quarter

The app lets you follow specific teams and news for only that team. It's a little clunky, but nothing too bad. This is also the home of NFL's Game Pass streaming service. It costs $99.99 per year or $24.99 per quarter of a year. You can watch every non-blackout football game. That means you can't watch home team games, but you can watch anything else. There are other options for live streaming, but the content and news is fairly top notch.
 

Limpert Tech "SullyCast" on ALT 105.7 and iHeartRadio - Back to School Tech

It's that time of the year!
Parents are excited... kids not so much :(

Back to School and everyone now wants a high tech experience.

Rick and Sully talk some great new tech for Back to School.
 
Have a listen:

1. SmartSeat
www.physicalmindinstitute.com/smartseat

Retrain Your Sitting Muscles

“Sitting is the New Smoking” but maybe HOW we sit, with crossed legs and the pelvis tucked, is why 80% of us will experience back and hip pain. PhysicalMind Institute has a solution, SmartSeat™ is designed to retrain your body so that you can undue the damage from poor seated posture.  

SIT Smarter to Correct Your Posture!

The common crossed-leg seated position has been implicated in back, hip and knee pain because sitting this way compresses the spine and lumbar discs, inhibits abdominal muscle support, and unbalances the pelvis and may restrict circulation (spider vein alert)!

SmartSeat™ is a tool that also:   
·   Improves Standing Posture
·   Lifts & Lightens the Upper Body
·   Energizes the Breathing
·   Activates the Core Abdominals

Just 30 minutes of daily use will retrain your body so that you can sit comfortably with legs uncrossed. SmartSeat™ weighs just three ounces but supports the weight of the torso, its design lifts only the SITTING bones, not the seat.   SmartSeat™ is made of a suede-like foam and comes in a protective bag with two portable wedges so that you can take sitting well with you anywhere.
SmartSeat™ is 19” long  with a 3” pommel at the front and flares to 7” at the back of the model. Wedges are 7”x 7”.
$49- available August 15 on www.physicalmindinstitute.com/smartseat

3. Catalyst Impact Smartphone Case
https://www.catalystcase.com/

If you are sending your loved one off to school with a new smartphone, make sure it’s protected. Catalyst has a long history of making the most protective waterproof, drop proof cases in the world, but they are introducing for the first time a non-waterproof protective case, this sleek design showcases a refinement in performance and style.

The Catalyst Impact Protection Case ($39.99) stays true to the company’s signature features: with a grippy rubber bumper, lanyard attachment, rotating mute switch and clear case back to showcase your iPhone.

This case is designed to be your best friend as the school year starts.

4. Alcatel 1X and 3V Smartphones
https://us.alcatelmobile.com/

If you are looking for a starter phone for a pre-teen or teen, or maybe you are looking to save a little money without sacrificing any quality, take a look at Alcatel’s new offerings. With the popularity of smartphones and many on a budget, Alcatel carefully crafted and designed the Alcatel 1X for $99, and the 3V for $149. There are many features on these smartphones, such as fingerprint recognition, social sharing tools, and they are so easy to use. They are powered by Android Oreo, and make a great option for “Back to School.”
 

5. Gekkostick Flexible Selfie Stick

Both students and teachers will love this ingenious take on the selfie stick gives users a flexible stick that can be bent to any angle, wrap around any object, and can even be fashioned into its own desktop stand for hands-free photos and videos. The smartphone mount securely holds your device and is expandable for a universal fit that accommodates even the largest new smartphones. Fun and colorful, the Gekkostick is $19.99.

It's that time of the year! Rick is in Midtown for the next 10 or so days with the BB&T Atlanta Open tennis tournament. Rick is the media director and follows tennis all year long, so he gets to see the latest tennis tech up close.
 

And some new tech is being put in play at the tournament this week at the BB&T.
Have a listen:

1.  BB&T Atlanta Open debuts an app

https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/bb-t-atlanta-open/id1380436653?mt=8

2.  Electronic Line Calling to be Used on Every Court at 2018 US Open

The US Open will become the first Grand Slam tournament to use electronic line calling on every court this summer, when its use of the technology is expanded to cover all 16 courts.

The move will ensure consistency and fairness for all players, while keeping the US Open at the forefront of technological innovations.

Last year, electronic line calling had a dedicated in-stadium presence on the four main courts – Arthur Ashe Stadium, Louis Armstrong Stadium, Grandstand and Court 17. It was also used to provide video reviews on Courts 5, 10 and 13, which were served via a dedicated replay room inside Arthur Ashe Stadium, rather than at the court itself. Based on the success of this expanded trial on the three field courts, the decision was made to roll out the technology across the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center.

As a result, electronic line calling cameras will be present on all 16 competition courts when the US Open main draw begins on Aug. 27, with the initial plan to use the technology in men's and women's singles, doubles and mixed doubles matches.
 

3. Wimbledon Streamed in Ultra HD to fans

Wimbledon has come a long way!

NextVR team filmed tennis in ultra-high resolution stereoscopic 3D for the first time ever. Matches were streamed over free Wi-Fi to fans waiting in line to get onto the grounds. Spectators can point their phones at stadium plaques to trigger augmented reality experiences. “Our grander ambition is to make sure we are keeping Wimbledon relevant through the use of technology,”

4. NetCam was a smash at Wimbledon

NetCam is the next evolution of their Globecam unit – a world leader in live, point-of-view miniature camera solutions that specialise in live sport. NetCam will be deployed on each side of the net to deliver audiences an unprecedented panorama of Wimbledon’s Centre and No.1 Courts during match play.
In addition to improving the fan’s viewing-experience, the miniature camera technology also provides players and officials with a unique, live net’s eye view of the on-court action.

 

5. New Nike Shoe debuting for US Open in August - The Zoom Zero

With the US Open—the final Grand Slam tournament of the year—fast approaching, Nike Tennis has readied a brand-new sneaker just in time for the United States’ most prestigious tournament. The Zoom Zero is a truly unique example of tennis footwear: a shoe that features New York-inspired detailing, and boasts a brand-new take on Zoom cushioning technology.

Most sneakers that utilize Zoom feature two seperate cushioning units: one in the heel, and one in the forefoot. The Zoom Zero turns this conventional cushioning method on its head by offering a single curved Zoom Air unit that stretches all the way from heel to toe, offering both impact protection on a player’s heel strike and a springy feel when a player is on their toes ready for a volley. A rigid rubber toe offers impact protection, and bright pops of color on the tongue and heel add a little extra flair. For a NYC-inspired touch, the shoe also features “New York” signed in different languages from the midsole’s peak on the midfoot all the way up to the heel. The Zoom Zero is set to release in both black and white on Nike.com, so enjoy images (and original design sketches) of the shoe below while you wait, and get ready to hit the tennis court in this futuristic sneaker this summer.
 

6. Weekly "Bird" update

During an Atlanta City Council work session Friday, local lawmakers declared Bird and its multiple dock-free vehicle-sharing competitors a crucial part of evolving Atlanta into a more multimodal (and less car-dependant) city. But they say some regulation is needed...
A city ordinance proposal drafted by Councilmembers Michael Bond, Jennifer Ide, Dustin Hillis, Matt Westmoreland, and Andre Dickens seeks to ensure Bird scooters and other small shareable vehicles are used in an “obstruction free” fashion.
Bird users, evidently, are not the only offenders. Vehicle-sharing companies have been sprouting like weeds recently, and options such as Lime bikes and scooters and Muving mopeds have also been found idle, crowding sidewalks and obstructing public rights of way.
