Greg_Di 1,024 Posted July 16 Share Posted July 16 The Eagles dynasty which currently consists of Greg, Tom, Henry and Roger have quietly built a massive training facility in their hometown of Wroclaw. This massive facility is used exclusively for any Eagles that is playing in the VHL and the first player to be completely trained at this facility specifically for his role is Roger Eagles. No one other then family members have had access to this facility but last week media and a few VHL scouts were allowed into the facility to see Roger go through his off-season paces. The facility, which is roughly 100,000 sq ft, consists of the following rooms: 2 state of the art full size Ice-Rinks. One catered to goalies and one catered to Forwards/Defensive players. 3 state of the art gyms, powered by AI to cater to different aspects of training (Stamina, Muscle, Coordination) 1 War room 1 skatemill (similar to a treadmill but you use it with skates) Diagnostic Facility plus many other high tech rooms that we were not allowed to see during this visit This facility is a state-of-the-art facility which also includes AI incorporation to track every aspect of training and to inform where improvement is needed. Sensors are placed everywhere you can think of from the Ice, to the equipment, training equipment and even on water bottles. All this information leads to the war-room, which is filled with different monitors showing stats of how much water has been drank to how much more reaction time Roger needs to stop an extra .1% of shots. It is a technological Marvel and we were only shown about 35% of the facility. "We do not want to show everything as we could lose our competitive edge. This facility is meant to ensure that every Eagles player is utilizing every avenue to be the best player" Greg Eagles, the creator and founder of the facility as well as the first ever Eagles player to play in the VHL, "Roger will be our first player that has been in this facility since we have opened it. We are seeing some great improvements that I wish I had when I was coming up through the ranks. With AI we can see every little thing that needs improvement and what training we need to focus on to make sure we close any gaps" We were shown Roger going through the paces in the Goalie Arena and seeing the billboards light up with what AI wanted him to work on next but we were not shown the results. It is interesting to see that instead of taking drills from a coach, the drills were being led by AI. Anytime a mistake was detected it quickly lit up on the board as to what went wrong and how to improve. We then see Roger quickly adapting to what was written on the board and the same play ran again until he nails it 100%. "It is hard work but its also incredible to be a part of this new AI training revolution. We will see how this training compares to actual coaches but I already feel myself getting better and improving" Roger said " All the feedback you could ever want is displayed to you live and then also at the end of the session in the war room. The session is also filmed at different angles that you can review what went right and what went wrong. Its just incredible and I am happy I get to be a part of this" Gaikoku-hito, ace_five_ and Thunder 3 Link to comment https://vhlforum.com/topic/149749-eagles-training-facility/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
