Light barriers:
With the help of these tripods, not only the sprint times of the Bayern stars can be measured.

Training on Säbener Straße: Stadium simulator for Bayern
Point system:
In order to set new stimuli, Nagelsmann recently introduced a point system in training.
Good training performance should be rewarded.
With tight starting XI decisions, training performance could be the deciding factor for the players.
Skills.Lab:
The Bavarians even rely on high-tech on campus.
Since December 2020, talented players from the U16s to the amateurs and the women's pros have been training in a simulator resembling a hexagonal mini-stadium every day.
The so-called Skills.Lab is intended to record and evaluate the football-specific performance parameters of a player on a technical-cognitive basis.
Programs with up to four players simultaneously on the 320 square meter artificial turf are possible.
They have to solve tasks that are thrown onto projection screens by five high-performance projectors.
A supplement to normal training.
