Goal line technology and GPS in soccer

Introduction
The sport I choose is soccer. I choose soccer because I think there are a lot of systems that work well in improving the game. The two systems I choose are goal line technology and GPS. I think Goal line technology and GPS software are very important software involved in soccer. Goal line technology lets the referees know if a ball has fully crossed the line or not. It’s very quick and doesn’t waste any time on the pitch, all the referee has to do is look at his watch and it will let him know if it’s a goal or not. GPS is just a small black box that is positioned between your shoulder blades that isn’t too expensive and it gives a wide range of live data to the management and coaches on

Only that its cost a lot for the organisation because there needs to be regular checks to make sure everything is working before every game. And they also need to be licensed to have it in there grounds.
GPS
There are no real negatives in using GPS only that the, Organisation, Management, Athletes and Coaches would get too worried about what it says on the monitor about how long the players ran or how fast they were going and not concentrating on their skill.
(tilsner, 2015)
Recommendation
Based on this analysis I would recommend that soccer teams should get and use GPS devices in there club because this can help with a range of new ideas, training and match plans but best of all it is a great way of keeping an eye on players coming back from injury and preventing them from injury. GPS benefits all of the background team at the organisation. Also GPS isn’t as expensive as other software and can give you more information than others.
