The place of sport science in elite sport has remained shrouded in mystery for several years, but this week’s episode of The Club goes behind closed doors and examines the role it plays in Collingwood’s on-field success.

The Club follows Collingwood’s sport scientists at the team’s main training session and tracks their progress right up until Saturday’s clash with Greater Western Sydney.

We find out how the club tracks its players via the use of GPS devices and the methods behind different players’ training loads in the lead up to a match.
