Challenge 3
1 vs 1 challenge – players had to sprint from half-way around the perimeter of the 1 vs 1 court entering the court through their goal. As the players entered the court Isaka then served the ball into play – players then played 1 vs 1 until a goal was scored or the ball goes dead. Best of five serves.

Isaka
“It looks like Wade took it out again.But it was close this time and there were some nice touches and some good speed around the corners.”

Nick
“It’s pretty hard, but I have to give it to Wade. He killed it. Well done, man.”

Wade
“Nick wasn’t moving much so I thought I might try and sell him a few dummies but he still held his ground. He was tough but in the end I got it through.”

“Honestly, it’s a massive innovation. To have so much personal data is quality. The data showed they were quick and worked hard. It’s quality that adidas have this and now all footballers can have it too. The way it’s put out is really easy to read and it shows you everything you need.”

Nick
“It’s mad as. I’ve never seen a program like that before. Seeing ourselves, how well we did and what we need to improve in is good to see. I was pretty happy with the stats but I guess Wade was just a bit too good. It’s very good. I couldn’t feel the chip inside the boot. And the boot’s really light too. The boots are mad, they feel so good.”

Wade
“I couldn’t believe it. It’s amazing what technology can do. Normally you have those stupid speed guns watching you. Now you have these small things in your boots to make life so much easier. I didn’t think such a small chip could record so much stuff. You don’t feel it’s there – I’m being serious, you don’t know it’s there. You can’t feel it at all. It’s a great idea. I’ve loved today. Never forget it.”
