Quote:According to Belch, of the 16 teams that have signed on with STRIVR, 14 of them capture content on a daily (or near-daily) basis throughout the season. All of these teams capture content from the QB viewpoint. The "heavier" users also capture from linebacker, safety, and even the kicker's viewpoint and then take the VR setup to the hotel the night before games for extra visualization and mental training. Teams that are considered "heavy" users: Stanford, Clemson, Temple, Dartmouth, Arkansas, the Arizona Cardinals, Minnesota Vikings and New York Jets.

Interesting that of that list, basically all of them have overachieved relative to expectations this year (I'm not sure what Dartmouth's expectations were, but they're 9-1 so doing pretty well).

Since this is still in its infancy, I think this is going to be a complete game changer in only a few years.  Teams that don't understand it and use it will lose ground.  I expect, in the next few years, to see a few elite high school teams use it if they can find the money.  Might even be outlawed in high school just for the money reason, but elite players, especially QBs with private coaches, will be using it.

Dartmouth won the Ivy League in 1990 and 1991 with Buddy Teevens as head coach and again in 1992 and for the last time in 1996.  Teevens was and is a solid 1-AA coach, but unfortunately actualized the Peter Principle and coached Tulane to an 11-45 record in three years and anchored Stanford to a dismal three-year record of 10-23.  His games and seasons in D1 were marked by a near total lack of ability to adjust over the course of a game or a season.  He returned to Dartmouth the following year, and has been there ever since.  He was 9-41 in his first five years, then unaccountably started to turn around.  His record over the next four years was 23-17 as he was 6-4 for three of those four years and 5-5 in the other year.  two years ago, his team finished 8-2, and they were 9-1 this year and won the league.  Bully for Buddy.
