WARNINGS
Carefully read and follow the safety information, precautions,
and equipment warnings below.
Only trained, qualifi ed personnel should perform repairs to this
equipment.
WARNING
Electrical voltage can cause fi res, electrical shocks, burns, or other
severe personal injuries.
To help prevent the risk of equipment damage and personal injuries,
observe the following general precautions for using and working with
your system:
Do not block vents.
Do not push any foreign objects into the openings of your system
components.
Doing so can cause fi re or electric shock by shorting out interior
components.
Never pour liquid into the equipment openings. It can cause fi re
or electric shock by shorting out interior components.
Always ensure the voltage setting of the power source is correct
before connecting the equipment to a power outlet.
Only use a power cable that has been approved for the voltage and
current of this product.
To help prevent electric shock, plug the power cable into properly
grounded electrical outlets.
Do not use adapter plugs or remove the grounding prong from a
cable. If you must use an extension cord, use a three-wire cord
with properly grounded adaptors.
Observe extension cord and power strip ratings. Make sure that
the total ampere rating of all products plugged into the extension
cord or power strip does not exceed 80 percent of the extension
cord or power strip ampere ratings limit.
Carefully position cables and power cords. Route cables and
power cords so that they cannot be stepped on or tripped over.
Be sure that nothing rests on your system components’ cables or
power cord.
Always disconnect the equipment from any AC outlet before per-
forming repairs or any other work.
Only connect the battery charger to a grounded wall socket. If
your outlet does not support this type of plug, contact a qualifi ed
electrician to replace the outlet before using the product.

ABOUT THE SYSTEM
OVERVIEW HOW IT WORKS
miCoach Elite represents the latest ad-
vancement in performance monitoring.
The state-of-the-art system gives ath-
letes and teams a powerful, yet easy to
use tool to help them achieve and main-
tain peak physical performance and gain
an edge on their competition.
Teams can now accurately plan, mon-
itor, analyze and report on the perfor-
mance of athletes with one integrated
system.
The micoach elite Team System is de-
signed to perform tasks that aid training
and coaching staff, including:
miCoach Elite Team system uses state
of the art sensor technologies along with
compact electronics, specialized fabrics/
fi bers and wireless communication to
provide non-invasive monitoring of ath-
letes in real-time.
adidas brings together GPS, inertial
sensors, heart rate monitoring, and
other technologies along with an un-
derstanding of elite athletes and their
training and developmental needs. So-
phisticated algorithms process millions
of data points to bring simple, actionable
insights.
Provide real-time insights during
training
Track total training impact and ben-
efi ts
Simplify the collection and manage-
ment of data
Add fl exibility with a highly portable
system
WHAT IT MEASURES
miCoach elite was designed to take
millions of data points and boil them
down to simple, intelligent feedback for
coaches who want to understand how
training is impacting athletes and their
performance.
8
During a training session, a coach can
use the live dashboard to monitor heart
rate recovery making sure not to begin
the next training interval until the ma-
jority of athletes are ready.
This is a precise measure of how hard
the athlete is working. Power training is
widely used in cycling where it has been
possible to measure with a meter on the
bike. Advanced sensor technology and
algorithms in the miCoach elite team
system will now enable power to be
used in fi eld sports.
By combining power and heart rate,
coaches now have a complete picture of
how hard an athlete is working and how
their body is responding to the work.
This combination of metrics allows
coaches to look at the overall effi ciency
of an athlete. Athletes that are putting
out more work per heart beat are in bet-
ter condition.
By monitoring speed, a coach can see
if athletes are training at the level that
is required to succeed in a game. When
a coach plans a speed training session,
he can customize the live dashboard to
view speed related data including peak
speed, average speed, and number of
high-intensity sprints. The ability to
manage speed training carefully is es-
sential to prevent over training and risk
of injury.

These measures are critical in sports
where rapid change of direction is re-
quired. Understanding the rate and
frequency of accelerations and decel-
erations is an important part of overall
training load.
This allows a coach to see where the
athletes have been on the fi eld giving
insight into tactical movements of the
players.
ACCELERATION / DECELERATION FIELD POSITION
ABOUT THE SYSTEM
METRICS
The distance an athlete runs during
a game or scrimmage can vary. A re-
al-time measure of distance allows a
coach to set individual or team targets
for distance and ensure that all athletes
meet their goals. During or at the end of
a scrimmage, a coach can use the live
app to check distance covered. Athletes
that fall short of the target will continue
to train.

COMPONENTS OVERVIEW
BASE STATION
The Base is a portable receiver that collects
data from up to 30 Cells and can transmit that
data in real-time to the miCoach Elite Dash via
WiFi. Data from three sessions can be stored
locally on the Base.
When connected to the Internet, the Base
uploads data to a team’s secure web server for
post-session analysis and reporting. The Base
also serves as a storage and charging port for
the Cells used with the Team System.
The unit is portable, rugged and
weather-resistant.
