How Duke, Marquette And Other NCAA Tournament Teams Use Catapult To Track Work Load, Improve Performance

As Marquette point guard Tyler Kolek sat on a chair in a Madison Square Garden locker room after a Big East tournament game last Friday night, he took off his uniform top, revealing a thin black compression vest underneath. Kolek was asked whether the vest was protecting some sort of upper body injury.

No, he replied. He explained there was a small wearable device tucked into the vest that helped track his movements during that night’s game against Connecticut. All of the Marquette players wore the device, which is manufactured by Catapult, a sports technology company that was founded in Australia nearly 20 years ago.
