more complete analysis of stress
How does Catapult help?
Keep players healthy
◦ Reduce soft tissue injuries
by monitoring mechanical load and metabolic data to
identify fatigue which is the main cause
Finding what matters for
training
◦ Accurate measures of me-
chanical and metabolic
stress to discover the big-gest impacts to positive
performances
Recruiting
◦ Analysis of players and
teams over time help identi-
fy quantifiable performance requirements for your sys-
tem
Returning injured players to
competition
Measuring players returning
from injury to measures when
healthy increases probability of competitive readiness
The visit with Dr. Peterson was
highly insightful as to the effec-tiveness and data that Catapult provides. He brought along 6 monitors for a demonstration of
the technology.
The Mizzou Athletic Perfor-mance Staff recently hosted
Dr. Ben Peterson of Catapult Sports for a two day visit with
multiple parts of the Athletic Department. In our relentless
efforts to continue to progress
our capability to provide high level service and support to
our student-athletes we have identified the Catapult technol-
ogy to be fundamental to our evolution. Catapult is a GPS
based, athlete monitoring sys-tem. The athlete is equipped
with a monitor which contains
a GPS system, three accel-erometers, three gyroscopes,
and a magnetometer which measure:
Acceleration; Speed; Change
of Direction; Rotation Veloci-ty; Unilateral deficits; Dis-
tance; Work Volume
Over 300 other variables
Who is Catapult?
Founded by engineers, run
by sport scientists
Have over 300 clients in 30
sports in over 30 countries
Research and Development
team includes Nike, Under Armor and Adidas
Working with over 80 univer-
sities to extensively test the
products
Keeping athletes on the field of
play is critical to competitive
success. Put simply, the ques-tions that can be addressed
with Catapult are:
Who is overtraining?
When is an athlete capable of
performing at their best?
The health and well-being of
student-athletes is taking cen-ter stage with the media atten-
tion to student-athlete compen-sation and nutrition de-
regulation efforts and at Mizzou
we have always pushed for and supported the efforts to make
sure the needs of the SA’s are met. Athlete monitoring fits
right into this by allowing us to subjectively measure what is
happening during practice and competition:
What does Catapult do?
Allows the user to measure
stress. Stress causes change
– that change can result in positive performance changes
(improvements) or negative changes (decrease or injury
Stress can be broadly classi-
fied as Metabolic or Mechani-cal:
◦ Metabolic – internal, physi-
ological (heart rate, gas

The Winter 2014 off-season is in the books and Spring Ball has concluded. The players will take a couple weeks to reset and recover physically from the rigors of the last few months. They will take part in lifting and conditioning designed to reinforce good movement and mobility. The next phase of prep-aration will be Summerball beginning in June as the road to 2014 SEC football continues.
The Tigers are heating up to build a successful off-season. Personal records (PRs) were broken, team records set, and mental preparation is off and run-ning. The bar has been raised, standards are high, and they are hungry for the SEC championship.
The motto for the new season is “Battle Tested – War Ready” which was decided upon by our batch of rising juniors. The players are rallying around the catchy motto as they approach and attack each workout with increasing levels of focus and passion.
The improvements in athleticism during Spring Football were on display as this set of Tigers battled for positions. The compe-tition is high than ever as the players continue to push themselves toward mastering their craft. Players even continued pushing for PRs during spring ball though it is not a focus of that period of training!
While it is not a large amount of time, the players are set for a little time away from the rigors of the Student-Athlete life in May but will maintain overall conditioning with a take home workout. The summer promises to be very productive as the players and Athletic Performance Staff gear up.
Overall, the main purpose in summer is to increase speed, power, strength and movement ability. The Tigers need to be healthy, strong and explosive throughout the season to maximize their ability to recover and regenerate from the rigors of practice and games.
Tigers have begun the road to physical improvements as well as the men-tal conditioning necessary to compete in the SEC. The games are won months before fans enter the “ZOU,” the Tigers continue to push them-selves with intrinsic motivation with the goal to become champions. Our staff is ramping up preparations to help them achieve their goals and is looking forward to “battle testing” throughout the summer. □

As it happened to be during Spring
Ball we were able to monitor 6 football players during a spring ball practice
which gave some interesting results.
To realize the full power of the data we would need to accumulate roughly
a full year to start making comprehen-sive decisions based on the feedback,
although we would be able to real-ize some of the potential in about
two months.
With the current rate of technology development, organizations that are
early adopters to innovative solu-tions will realize the potential soon-
er and increase the probability for success before those that wait. In-
vestment in technologies such as
this are a critical component to the continued competitive excellence
that is a core value of Mizzou Ath-letics. With your support we are
able to meet the financial needs to accomplish our mission.

INGREDIENTS:
1c uncooked orzo pasta or rice
2tbs chopped fresh parsley
1/2 tsp salt, divided
unsalted butter, divided
1.5lb peeled & de-vined shrimp
2tsp minced fresh garlic
2tbs fresh lemon juice
1/4 tsp freshly ground black pepper
and vegetables, lean proteins, and healthy fat sources rather than foods high in saturated and trans fats. It is obviously
not the expectation that any one person eat every food on the list, for athletes however, it’s crucial that they know how
performance can be negatively affected with an unbalanced
diet that excludes several foods on the list.
Although providing the Top 25 Foods List to each athlete has proven helpful to many of our athletes to make better food
choices, there are still obstacles that many athletes run into, especially an athlete’s ability to find and choose these foods
in the grocery store amongst all the other tempting options. To assist with this, we have developed a Walmart Shopping Guide for our athletes that illustrates the location of each
food on the Top 25 Foods List throughout the store.
Overall, motivating athletes to make dietary improvements can be difficult, but the goal as a Sports Nutritionist is to
educate your athletes on the best choices, motivate them to make those choices, and provide them with the resources to
take nutrition into their own hands. The Top 25 Foods List and Walmart Shopping Guide are just a few examples of how
we do that here at Mizzou. □
Nutrition plays a very prominent role under the umbrella of Athlet-
ic Performance here at Mizzou. Education of teams, individual
athletes, and coaches is of the
utmost priority, and covers a wide range of topics. Education
topics include, but are not limited to: carbohydrates, protein, fat,
meal timing, sleep, recovery, fast food, and alcohol. Although our
athletes have been educated on a multitude nutrition topic pertaining to athletic performance and academic success, it
is often difficult to translate the language of nutrition, which
is foreign to most athletes, into the language of food, which athletes understand. Therefore many athletes are still left
with the question: “what foods do I need to be eating?”
To help our athletes answer this question, we now provide every athlete with a copy of The Top 25 Food Choices in the Performance Diet within their first few days at Mizzou. The number one ‘food’ on the list is Water and is the single most
important component of any athlete’s diet. After that each
food is denoted as either a National Champion, Top Ranked, or Conference Champion carbohydrate, protein, or fat
source. In general, the foods on the Top 25 Foods List are foods that should be the staples of any diet, not just the per-
formance diet — water instead of sugary beverages, whole grains
instead of pro-cessed
ones, fresh
fruits

The women’s golf team has enjoyed more
success this spring due to their high levels
of commitment to all of their training ses-
sions. Not only did they continue to train-
ing hard in the weight room but they are
taking full advantage of their new state-of-
the art golf house. Workouts in the weight
room for the entire spring consisted on specific work for reach
player to unleash their true potential in their swing. Players
worked on their flexibility, mobility of their joints, control of
their legs and hips, and well as general strength gains. Overall,
the players have enjoyed more success this year even in the
most competitive league in the nation. Keep looking for this
team as they will be making waves
in the SEC for years to come thanks
to all their work and dedication. □
The women’s basketball team has not missed a moment this spring in their continual pursuit of excellence. After the end of their season, the team immediately got to work by renewing their com-mitment to their performance enhancement goals. The team worked very hard during the season in the weight room to main-tain the gains from the last spring and summer so no time has been wasted getting back to their previous levels. The Athletic Performance staff would like to congratulate juniors Bree Fowler and Morgan Eye for winning the NSCA Strength an d Conditioning All-American award and the Mizzou Strength and Conditioning Athlete of the Year Award respectively. The team is attacking their goals by training four days a week in the weight room as well as 4 days a week on the court. The work never stops, but that is how they like it! The entire de-partment looks forward to seeing their gains and watching them perform at new levels on the court this coming season! Let’s go get some PR’s! □
The Mizzou gymnastics team has closed the chapter on the 2014 season and has already set their sights on building towards
the future for next season! The team has been performing post-season workouts to reestablish their conditioning, general
fitness, and overall work capacity. In simple terms, the team is building their foundation, however the work and training that
goes into this foundation is anything but simple or easy! The team has been training vigorously three times a week with each
workout consisting of total body lifting and conditioning. Each day has a different training emphasis which is monitored by
heart rate monitors which each girl on the team wears. The workouts can be adjusted and tailored to the feedback and data
received from the heart rate monitors. The use of technology and data allows for not only the
coaches, but the athletes to receive feedback on the work they are putting in! This use of technol-
ogy to monitor training is part of a growing trend in competitive athletics. As always the University
of Missouri Athletic Performance Staff is continuously striving to be on the
cutting of edge training trends to ensure our athletes are receiving the best
training possible to achieve competitive excellence! □

T his spring has been one of excellent progress for Men’s
Basketball Team despite any distractions outside of the
weight room or court. Even in a time of transition the
men have found a way to hold to the consistent parts of
their routine. The weight room and the workouts have been exe-
cuted with the highest level of discipline, attention, to detail, and
accountability. The Athletic performance staff along with Assis-
tant Director of Basketball Strength and Conditioning, Jacob Linn,
has ensured that the team understands the foundational and fun-
damental importance of the process of training and conditioning.
The men have done an excellent job of ensuring that they hold
up their end of the deal as well and continue to focus greatly on
increasing their work capacity, improving their nutritional disci-
pline, maintaining their excellent recovery habits, showing respect
and responsibility to each other, and finishing the school year
strong. Overall, the entire team is poised to make great gains
this summer as they look forward to
the future of the team. □ FROM THE DESK OF
JACOB LINN Assistant Director of Basketball
Strength & Conditioning
Just past the mid-point of the season and deep into SEC
play with Mizzou baseball and the Tigers hit the back
stretch where their strength and conditioning as well as
their recovery efforts really came into play. Not only is
it a critical part of the season it was close to finals
which can be a stressful time as well. One thing we
tried to do is to make the flush workout for the starting
pitchers even more personalized based on how each
particular pitcher is feeling after his start. We constant-
ly work on educating the team on nutrition, sleep and
recovery in order for them to stay healthy. The team
continued to work out two times a week based on their
game schedule, which became quite rigorous in the
back half of the season, sometimes traveling 3-4 times
a week. In between all of that we had to fit in academic
responsibilities as well as workouts. As you can see the
life of a student-athlete can be very busy and taxing as
well as rewarding if approached in the right manner.
This is why nutrition, quality rest as well as condition-
ing are important in the life of
the student-athlete. □

Since our last submission of progress of Men’s Golf the team has grown tremendously. Every single player had made pro-
gress in one way or another. The guys have bought into the program and are becoming more flexible and more mobile. This
helps translate their performance in the weight room on to the golf course through powerful swings. We have also worked on
mindset and being mentally prepared come practice, school, and competition. These young men are blossoming into true
gentlemen who will have the strength to lead their team as well as become leading examples off the golf course. A single
player cannot be distinguished as far as work ethic and progress. All the players have done exceptionally and they imple-
mented the mental conditioning we talk about at the SEC Championship tournament. Expect nothing
but the best when talking or watching Missouri Men’s Golf. They are led by a great mentor and teach-
er, Mark Leroux. His leadership has become contagious and it has developed an expectation of the
guys which they are willing to accept. □
The athletic performance staff would
like to congratulate the wrestling team
as they have again reached higher lev-
els of performance. The team’s hard
work, commitment, and discipline are
evident in the championship perfor-
mances and third straight conference
title. The men have worked the entire
competitive season in the weight room
and on the mat and have become even
more strong, flexible, and powerful. The athletic performance
staff would like to give a huge shout out to true freshman, J’den
Cox, for his accomplishment at winning a national championship
and setting a school record for the youngest Mizzou wrestler to
ever perform the feat. The future is bright for the team thanks
to the leadership and mentorship of their coaches, the teams’
undying commitment to training, and commitment from admin-
istration to keep putting the most
prepared athletes possible on the
mat. □
Throughout this spring semester the Tiger Tennis team have been training in the weight room two days a week. The ma-
jority of their season was spent on the road, just in time for
them to return home to close out the regular season with 3 great matches against Mississippi State, Ole Miss, and UMKC.
Not only was this a weekend of intense competition, but it was also a memorable weekend as the senior’s of the team
were recognized for their years of hard work, dedication, and commitment to being a Missouri Tiger. With that being said
we would like to reach out and say thank you to Cierra Gay-tan-Leach, Elisha Gabb, and Rachel Stuhlmann for all they
have done for this University. We wish them the best of luck
in all of their future endeavors. This eventful weekend con-cluded with remarkable wins against Mississippi State and
UMKC. Following the weekend the Tigers had the honor and privilege of hosting the SEC Tournament, of which started on
April 16th. The determined Tigers fought hard and made it past the first round as they defeated a fierce Arkansas team.
Their season ended though with a tough second round loss to Texas A&M. The 2013-2014 season
ended on a positive note, but the Ti-
gers are hungry and will be back in the weight room testing before beginning
intense summer training. □

A fter a successful indoor season the Tiger Track and Field team didn’t waste any time as they got right back to
work. Coach Lyles’ and Coach Lefever’s group’s lifts correspond strongly to what they do at practice that day.
Therefore, the lift incorporates more sport specific movements as well as maintaining strength and power. After
some new PR’s and stellar performances at the Texas Relays and Crimson Tide Invitational the tigers continued their streak
as they came home for the Missouri Relays. Some strong performances included record breaking jumps and vaults by Jon-
athen Ilori, Kerri Furbert, Shinelle Proctor, Camille Hayes, Maggie Givens, and Heather Green. The tigers will continue to
train 3-4 days a week as they work towards accomplishing their outdoor goals. With that being said the throwers have also
had a great start to their outdoor season. Katie Evans, Kearsten Peoples, and Jill Rushin have all broken their PR’s several
times and Hailey Twietmeyer added to the astounding performances by breaking the Javelin school record. With their hard
work and dedication in the weight room the throwers are focusing on maximum strength and maximum
power. We look forward to more outstanding performances by all event groups during the Champion-
ship season. □
