Three hundred and twenty-four. Four hundred and ninety. Six hundred and twenty-six. Sports scientist Tom Robinson has been bellowing numbers at Jesse Marsch all week with Leeds United, but what does it all mean?
Robinson is the man with his finger on the pulse in training, almost literally. While he stands by the side of the pitch monitoring a tablet, Marsch is running the main session and sporadically checking in with his colleague for the magic number.
The entire session is governed by this one unit of measurement Robinson is keeping a close eye on. Each day on the grass has it’s target and if the coaching staff can avoid taking the players beyond it, they will.
