“Coaching is essential to improving as an athlete – no matter what your sport. Whatever your goal is, a coach can help you improve. miCoach has a plan designed specifically to make you faster in football. You don’t get faster by just running long distances, or running sprints, it takes interval training specifically designed to optimise football performance and miCoach provides a pretty cool plan to make you a better you,†commented Reggie Bush.
The lightweight adidas miCoach Pacer offers real-time audible coaching to help users exercise through headphones or combined with their own MP3 player or smartphone. The Pacer coaches users verbally and ensures if they are within the targeted heart rate zone. It keeps users running at accurate levels depending on interactions between the adidas Heart Rate Monitor and adidas Stride Sensor. Designed with a clear color-code display, adidas miCoach Zone provides precise and real-time coaching on the wrist.
