From the SAP Center at San Jose, home of the San Jose Sharks. Extracting the signal from the noise. It's theCUBE, covering HGST, Sports Data Silicon Valley. Brought to you by HGST. Now your hosts, John Furrier and Jeff Frick. Okay, welcome back everyone. We are here live at the Shark Tank. This is Silicon Angles theCUBE, our flagship program. We go out to the events and extract the signal from the noise. I'm John Furrier. I'm the founder of Silicon Angles. I'm joined by Coach Jeff Frick, General Manager at CUBE. And our next guest is Mike King with Zebra Technologies. Welcome to theCUBE. Welcome to theCUBE Tank. We have the Shark Tank behind us. Great to see you. Sports Data SV. You guys are in the middle of all the actions. Talk about some of the things you're doing and some of the things you've done because this is really, really interesting. Okay, well right now I work for Zebra Technologies and they are the official player tracking provider of the NFL. They're in the second of a five year partnership with the NFL in which we instrument every single player in the National Football League with a set of RFID pads, chips on their pads. We have tracking systems installed in all 31 venues plus Wembley plus the Pro Bowl and Aloha. We track every player in every game. We track their XY coordinate data which is actually the core and the key to all data from the game for what the NFL is actually termed next generation statistics or next gen stats. So you will now start to see those products on broadcast, on NFL.com, on a variety of platforms that the NFL started to surface that data. Fundamentally, when you do XY position tracking and we captured that information about the players about 25 times per second, we're not only able to tell you where the player is at all times, we're able to tell you their accumulated distance throughout the play, throughout the game, their speed at any given moment, their accelerations and decelerations, the direction obviously and their orientation as we're tracking both shoulders so we can tell you independently where the player's facing so if they're back pedaling, running three quarters, all sorts of information that is interesting. So it goes not only to fans and customers, it goes to coaches, it goes to general managers, it's kind of the kind of core data source for kind of opening up the world of big data. Internet of things is people too. Absolutely. And they are things on the field. It's interesting, the yellow line was an innovation, you were involved in that. Now we've evolved essentially so much data where there's a lot of implications here. This competitive player management but safety is a big one. Talk about some of those dynamics. Yeah, correct. So a lot of the impetus to getting this technology into the National Football League is it takes a step to go through the logistics of adding this and making it scalable and putting it in all the venues. These are not small undertakings, they have financial and time-based implications. So for the NFL it was driven by two things. One is always health and safety so collecting as much information as possible about the athletes, I think, highest on everybody's list is concussions and things like that. And there's independent technologies around helmet sensors and technologies to do that but understanding the event that led up to the concussion event is still very important and that our system provides that information so the acceleration and the direction right up to the moment of an impact. And so that information is shared immediately and the NFL shares that with all their medical staff right now, kind of unfiltered right out of the gate, make that advancement. Is this NFL data or is this shared data? Or is it more kind of like, let's understand it first within the NFL before we expose it, except for the situation with health and health? Yeah, exactly right. That's why I mentioned the health and safety issue. The NFL piloted this program, funded it. They are a very parody-driven league. They like for an even competitive floor. So they made this investment. They're gathering all the data. They're learning, evaluating it, validating it, making sure it's good, making sure where it matters and then kind of handing it off to the teams in small portions to allow them to, some teams may be more advanced, some teams may be a little behind in terms of understanding the data. So they control that process. The one question I wanted to ask you, I know just waiting for you to come up is, do they track the ball boys? And the deflate gate was a huge issue. I mean, this is one of those things. The refs weren't paying attention. Apparently, Tom Brady was vindicated, of course, being a Patriots fan. Those kinds of little things, I'm not obviously kidding with that, but I mean. Well, no, so outside the bands of what people might think about, we do track quite a bit of other information. Sticks and chains don't move that much, but we track them. We do track the officials and that information will never really go to the public, but it's for improving officials and giving feedback and helping them train and be better at their job as well. And hopefully as soon as the 2016 season, if not definitely in the 2017 season, all the balls will be tracked as well. So Zebra has worked very aggressively with the NFL and Wilson, the official ballmaker at the NFL to put a smaller version of our tracking tag in the ball so they can track all the balls at all times. You could do PSI, but that's not on the request list from the NFL. Basically, the ball, the chain of custody is maintained, the ball will be fine, but yes.  That is the idea. Breaking news here in the queue, we're always breaking stories, you know, at NFL. One of the things we talked about in scheduling you to come on is really kind of an attitude about the data. And you talked about the NFL's collecting this data and slowly kind of trickling it out and using it as a baseline for kind of next gen applications. I wonder if you could speak a little bit to some of those early applications that are coming out. But then I think what I want to do then is shift gears and talk about MLB. I think the MLB just signed to deal with the NHL. MLB is way out in advance in terms of the leagues and a lot of the innovations they've done around digital transformation, but they've got a very different strategy. So first off, what are some of those next gen NFL things? Yeah. Stats, and then let's dig into kind of two different kind of attitudes about how we treat data. Sure. Well, most of you who are baseball fans know that baseball is a much more statistics-driven sport, that the fan base is much more, you know, you got 162 games and people score the game themselves. It's got a very different culture of football. They feel an obligation to introduce next gen stats in a methodical way to get people used to the idea as kind of a transformation of why this is different than what they're used to. Very basic stuff right now. So it'll be the maximum and average velocities of players. So you'll see speed reports. If you follow the NFL on Twitter, they will always have next gen stats content every Monday and Tuesday looking back at the weekend. Who are the top performers? They are delivering that same information about distances and speeds on the Xbox platform. There's an NFL app on Xbox and Microsoft being an official partner has kind of been the pilot generator of product content for the general public. So you can go on your Xbox and go on your NFL app anytime and you can look at plays and replay and you can see all the different next gen stats as they've chosen to surface up. It's usually skilled position players who scored on a touchdown. Interesting information. How fast did that guy really run breaking away? Like Taiwan Jones yesterday in the Raiders Jets game made a couple, broke a couple of great tackles. And then once he got into the open field, he took off. So he exceeded 20 miles per hour. Just kind of a threshold for really high speed during a football game. They do that. And then they put things on television. You'll see sometimes just pedometers or trails on players that really show the route they took and try and demonstrate the athleticism in a visual way. That's kind of neat because it's a validation of the data. It shows you if those graphics are powered by data and the player moves on the same path, the data is correct. And that's kind of Zebra's big selling point is the fact that it is real time data. It comes so fast. There's other tracking systems in sports. Soccer and basketball use camera based systems that have opened up this whole world of player movement data over the years. But that data takes up to 24 hours to post process and have corrected. It has hand scrubbing. It's got a lot of, you know, it's just not there in real time. And so the computer can track objects. It doesn't, but it loses track of who's who. Players overlap, things happen. The ball is very difficult. Somebody has to go in and scrub all that data. And so Zebra's kind of mantra is, well let's do that same thing, but in real time. What's the payoff for putting a device on someone? Pivoting over to MLB, that's very interesting. So they've been tracking pitches all the way back to 2005 with what was originally a broadcast based camera system called Pitch Effects. My old employer Sport Vision employed with them. And they made that data basically free to the public whether it was on purpose or just because they weren't protecting their, you know, web code very well. It was out there to the whole world. And they got the benefit of crowdsourced data mining and people building models and finding things. And it really kind of advanced that process just about pitch speeds and locations in a way that was, I think, if they tried to internalize it wouldn't have happened. And now baseball has moved to a much bigger world. They're tracking players now. They've instituted that in all of their venues. So they have a world of that data. If you go on MLB.com, something called StatCast. It has some cool replays, it talks about defensive range and reaction time and all these baseball people love this because they're always looking for more ways to quantify the game of baseball because there's so many repetitions. That's StatCast. That's Amazon's there on Amazon but it shows that how far the home run was hit, how fast they run the bases and I saw that in the World Series. Yeah, it's some very similar information and it will show up on broadcast as well. They will highlight it in the broadcast in various ways but it takes a little while to surface content in a meaningful way. That's a good story.  You don't have all the time in the world to go back and look at every single play. So finding meaningful stuff is kind of the... The old school guys don't like it with the new, the young kids do. I love it, the young kids do. Well, that's why they put it on the web. So you can go look at it when you're, you know, in between innings or after the game when you really want to dig in. Right, and you've been in this for a while. You worked with the yellow first down line. And we talked a little bit offline. You know, the value of that information and the use of that information has really evolved over time from just a simple kind of entertainment vehicle, a simple little piece of additional information to now it's really being used by a number of organizations in very specific means. I wonder if you can kind of unpack that a little bit. Yeah, I think the best anecdote about that is the longest tracking that's been going on in professional American sports is NASCAR tracking because it's a large vehicle. There's been GPS devices on those cars since 2001 and for the first 12 years of the life of that it was simply to put pointers and speeds up on the broadcast while you were watching it. NASCAR or the cars can look very similar to the pointer, points out who the announcer's talking about so you can tell the cars apart, right? And it's almost as important as the yellow line as the football to integral to the broadcast. Well, in order to do that, you have to track all the cars all the time. And NASCAR kind of stood the value of that but in terms of using that data both in real time during the races and historically to really look at car performance, driver performance, track performance, it never really surfaced until 2012, 2013 to comprehensively look at all that data and it was about the same time the NBA was adopting camera tracking and things like that. So that is the world we're in now where everybody wants all the data and now we're at that, we have the opposite problem. Everybody wants all the data but now they're trying to figure out which parts of it really matter. Mike, I want to ask you about the future. Obviously, I geek out on the whole tracking thing. You start getting into that kind of stuff it's pretty incredible, it's in the short term there's a lot of low hanging fruit but the big trend that we're hearing about is eSports, virtual reality. How do you see that playing out because now you set in the foundational building blocks in data to have a whole nother fan experience. Talk about that. I think it's two-fold. So obviously the NFL is a partnership with the eSports at the Madden NFL game and so something will occur there when and how. We'll see. It's a natural connect that's there. One, it has a consumer manifestation where we all get to play at home and we want to go throw that past Russell Wilson through that got picked off in the Super Bowl. What would it look like? Things like that. Happy Butler, yeah. Yeah. It's your Patriots fan. I thought I'd throw you that one. Thank you very much. But what's even more, what's fascinating to me is somebody who kind of is both inside and outside of sports simultaneously. I'm still a big fan. I love to watch sports. I went with my wife to watch the Steelers play the Bengals this Sunday because she's a huge Steelers fan and I still love the game. Great stadium. But in having the data like this, one of the big things we talk about and you've seen some other Silicon Valley companies do it with virtual reality and the main thing they use it for is quarterbacks. Like give a quarterback a view of the game. And that's one of the biggest things at the NFL level. There's limited numbers of hours of practice and there's only so many reps in the game.  And even in practice, Tom Brady will not give him reps in practice. He wants all the reps to stay as sharp as possible. How does Jimmy Garoppolo get ready to play before he actually plays? So this is one of the cool things we can do with the location data. Right now you look at all 22 video and you're looking at the game as it unfolds either from behind the offense or up above. And say, you're trying to tell Jimmy Garoppolo, look what Tom did here. He saw, he read this linebacker as being in position and he's signifying a blitz and where was the hot read and where did he throw and what did he really see? But you're seeing it from up above. You're not seeing what Tom Brady saw. With all this data and combining it with EA Sports or other e-game world, you can recreate that world and you can now put Jimmy in every play of the game. And that can be his homework assignment. Go play the game. And you can recreate the exact game. What Tom saw. Try to make the same reactions. Try to read the defense as fast. See what was the, you know, have Tom go through. Great learning. I mean just the explosion of that accelerated learning. Definitely. It trickles down to the college level. It trickles down to trying to train elite high school athletes that has, you know, repercussions throughout the sports. Let's talk about the safety thing real quick. Some anecdotal insight into some things that have come out. Anything that's come out of positive around some of the data? This world athlete performance has been, you know, around forever. And it's really improved in the last five years with all sorts of athlete tracking and our data in particular tracks during the game so it's super valuable. But teams will use the same system to track during practice. NFL practices are particularly intense. Have pretty high workloads, especially in August and leading up to September. And they will use that data to track both baselines of performance for an athlete in terms of workload, acceleration, burst, all these types of things and quantified. And they'll even sometimes try to combine them into combined metrics that represent a lot at once. Because again, it's a fire hose of data. Let's get it down to something I can care about. Because a head coach isn't going to listen to his, even his strength coach. That guy's got about three minutes a day to tell him what he thinks and what kind of changes they need to make. So he'll actually start regulating practice. A guy's coming back from injury. He'll be able to compare those, you know, other than just, oh, I'm looking at him. His cuts look a little soft. He'll actually be able to quantify those. It's actually, he's about 70% of what's going on. And there was a story about a high school kid whose eye watch saved his life. Give him some of the data coming in. It's a lot of cool stuff. Final worry, we've got to cut the segment off here. We're getting the hook here. What is the coolest thing that you see out there that gets you jazzed up in the sports data, technology, visualization? What's the one thing that you personally get excited about right now? There's quite a bit. I saw something, I went over to Australia last year to look at what some other people are doing. And they have kind of a more rudimentary, older technologies based on GPS. But they kind of just have thrown convention aside and they put those devices right on players during the games. Even though they're bulky and they could get her. Like GoPro or something like camera. It's a tracking device, of course, like we do. And it only works outdoors. It has lots of limitations. But they're like, because the NFL is so big, it will not move fast. Because the AFL is smaller, it moves very fast. And what they do is they have five people sitting right in the stadium, like looking at the data. They have five more on the sidelines. They are using the data in real time in games. The coach is relying on it to decide who comes in and out of the match. They are obviously trying to prevent injury. They're trying to maximize performance. They are integrating technology live within games in a way that maybe some fans already think happens. But it certainly does not. I will tell you that on the upper US sports level. But I think we are much closer to that. And we realize I think the NFL in having this data and having all the data. NMLB to their old school. It's all these rules and instituted. I think it's going to make it into live games stuff in the next five years. So what do you see when they're doing that? I mean, what are some of the manifestations of real time in game changes? Well, right now it's just limited athlete performance. So they're just looking at this guy's tired. This guy's fresh. And I know what his fresh versus your tired is. Let's get him in. Or what level of tired makes you less effective than your backup. That's just scratching the surface. In American football, there's a tactical and schematic element that will kind of blow it away. Because we all know it's a chess match. That's why it's so fun to watch. Mike, great insight. Thanks for sharing the data here on sports data. SV, be right back with more. Cube here, the cube tank at the shark tank. Be right back.


This is High Black Girl, the sleepiness it and I want to take you guys with me on maybe like a little day in my life or weekend vlog we'll see how long it is but I'm a really busy day today. I have a 9.30 a.m. class and wait can I tell you guys I've been on a journey to start waking up at 5 a.m. and right now I'm getting up at around 6.45 and already at 6.45 I'm just like I can breathe and we've been watching my other vlogs like I'm usually running the Bachelorette Lakes so it's just nice to be able to set things up in the morning and hopefully I will be sharing my entire 5 a.m. wake up journey with you guys soon but without further ado let's get ready for school. School without any makeup on my face but because I have various boot camp right after I just don't see the point in putting on makeup just to take it off literally right after class.  Okay so apparently there was a fire drill today um but I had women in mental health this morning it was really fun I'm like obsessed with Dr. Nancy honestly I highly recommend if you have the opportunity to take a class with her she's so great. I have to do so much printing and I don't have time for this fire drill and I also really have to pee but you know I'm just gonna keep going. Okay so I just finished at school I printed so much stuff one thing I didn't expect as a graduate student was to be reading so much but it's really fun I enjoy it. I'm on my way now to Barry's got a little exercise so I'll catch up with the gays there. Take the class a little vegan taco salad and I have one last tortilla in my fridge so I figured I'd eat that together. I'm eating them everything but I'm all packed and ready to go I'm just putting on a little bit of makeup. Not too much I'm obsessed with this Ilya super serum skin tint it's like the best of both worlds it's like uh like skincare plus makeup that's what I'm trying to say I don't know why I couldn't get that out but it's literally skincare plus makeup and I'm not wearing too too much just because I honestly don't really have time so I'm just gonna put a little bit of this I also like that it gives my skin like a nice little like I don't want to say greasy because that has like a bad connotation but like let's say dewey because I feel like dewey and greasy are the same thing but people want dewey skin people don't want greasy skin but I like that it makes my skin like I like that it's an oil because it makes my skin just really like like look at that oh my god it looks so hydrated oh I love it and I'm just gonna put on a little bit of highlighter and then we'll do a cute little fit check real quick and then we'll be out the door I also I'm just using this play by Glossier I swear to you my brother got this for me for Christmas I'm gonna say like two or three years ago at this point like it's pretty insane that I still have so much so I'm not fixing what's not broken so I'm just gonna keep using it and it's one of my favorites I think I put a little too much on my nose that's fine it's fine it's fine it's fine it's fine I also was kind of thinking of like wearing my hair down but because I just worked out I feel like my hair is still a little bit wet from sweat and if you are a natural girly like me you know when your hair is wet and in a productive style it's best to just leave it alone unless you want your hair to burn on you you know my hair does not like to air dry in fact it just likes to air shrink so when it's wet I just like to leave it stretched out like this all right let's go um how is it 318 I'm running so late oh my god okay so I just got to campus I did too late on my abs because it looks really nice but this is a quick little fit check because I did not have time to do it at home there's the stress I got from muscles and of course I have my tote bag I'm actually really surprised it's like four o'clock and I got here quite early because girl I did not think I was gonna make it but now I just need to meet up with my friend Monica in the library uh we have a project that we're presenting on Sunday I think I already said that for meeting her just to work on our project and it's just such a beautiful day outside I'm excited and happy that I wore a dress and like just really taking in the last couple moments of summer okay so we just finished our schools it's very intensive and it was just so beautiful we had like a really mindful opening group meditation and then just various like group activities that really helped us in body like what we need from the practice what we need from the class and how we're gonna learn and grow together so I'm really excited Samaya where are you hiding um so are you gonna start your youtube channel yes I already have one but we're starting a new one why because that one is all makeup and skincare and blow up and now we're gonna do mindset and spirituality and being present uh it's like perfect alignment I love it um well time to go home happy hour with my cohort after so I'm really really excited I honestly just think today it's gonna be a beautiful day I like wake up every morning to this view and I just feel absolutely like so blessed sometimes I have to pinch myself I'm like wow this is really my life like I have my dream apartment I have like my dream like career like at my dream university and life is good that's all I can say um I did some you know a little movement a little meditation this morning I'm starting to really work towards my handstand so if you follow me on instagram you have probably seen me try a handstand like a million times but I swear to you one day I'm going to get it I'm running a little late I was thinking about taking out my braids I'm wearing my hair free but I don't know I kind of think the braids are cute we'll see what I do I'm working out on my abs and I think it looks really cute today so I'm gonna wear this if it gets chilly I'm also going to bring this little blazer and I've said this a million times but we're going out tonight so I'm going to just bring this and put this in my huge like toad school bag we're also going out for lunch so I just think it'd be nice to have just something little so I don't have to carry my huge giant bag all the time this is the huge giant bag for our friends it's so happy and actually I didn't really use my laptop yesterday so I might take my laptop out and just take notes with a pen and paper um but yeah this is this is the outfit I'm really happy I'm just wearing these little sneakers because being on campus sneakers are the way to go and then I'm actually wearing my glasses I don't think you guys have seen them before I honestly haven't worn them probably like six months but pulling them out today because a lot of reading a lot of writing it's time for me to go so let's go bye I love you why are you being shy come say bye okay well this is not going to happen today oh my gosh so I ran to Saras and he got in the plane around the train oh so am I just texted we have one minute but we're basically okay so we just finished our morning session it was literally like so beautiful I wrote well I showed you guys like my thing was like just my little spiritual journey and spiritual awakening I've had throughout my life and then we sat we shared it was just so nice to get to know people on such a deep spiritual like soulful connection and so this is a really great way to create community and then our first group of presenters went went and I present on Sunday so I'm really excited about that but we're getting lunch now I'm on the hunt for sweet green because I want to have something healthy and I might even get some Starbucks looking real good okay here we go name is Nathan these are my friends and we're going to be the first one and that is for self awareness people who are really high self awareness oftentimes are able to perform higher and their work life and at home because they're able to make realistic goals and they know what they're able to achieve within their limitations so we have a little skit for you guys Michael has had a really bad day and now he's about to have an interaction with you any no no Michael has had a really bad day I'm his conscience oh I'm just going to have to move through his emotions so first would you check yourself is observe the ripple effect of your emotions bring into your discomfort feel your emotions physically it's so much fun last night and right now I usually post new youtube videos on fridays make sure you subscribe but I didn't get fridays video out yesterday so I went some some time working on that this morning probably work out maybe do some shopping I have a photo shoot coming up and I want like just a cute little new outfit so we'll see what I do today and uh let's head on in okay so I just want to come running for about three hours now and I'm just going to take a break for lunch I can't take my shopping plans with my friends because why go out shopping in the rain if you really don't need to um and I think I'm just gonna stay in today honestly finish this video get it up and then probably edit this one so thank you guys so much for watching I don't want to bore you I may there may be a chance I pick up this vlog tomorrow because I do have a lot of things planned but there's also a chance that I won't so I think this is goodbye I'll see you guys next time make sure you subscribe I really want to get to 1000 by the end of the year it's October 1st and we have 360 subscribers so if you could subscribe I would really appreciate it and I'll see you guys next time later


Hi, welcome to OISOM Academy, let's begin with all you need to know about PM100. Particulate matter is not a single air pollutant, but refers to a complex mixture of solids and aerosols of varying shape, size and chemical composition. They are composed of various chemical species like organic compounds, inorganic ions, metallic compounds, elementary carbon, etc. As the impact of particulate matter exposure on human health directly depends on the size of the particles, they are classified by the diameter for air quality regulatory purposes. The particles with a diameter of 100 micron or less are collectively known as PM100. Examples include wood particles, dust and so on. PM100 is directly emitted from sources such as windblown dust from open land, pollen, spores, mold, dirt, soil erosion and forest fires, burning fossil fuels, dust emission from unpaved roads, crushing and grinding or other such uncontrolled construction activities. PM100 can enter the nose or mouth while breathing and get deposited in the air passages of the body. They may cause adverse health effects such as biologic reactions, heart diseases, silicosis, etc. Short-term exposure to PM100 can aggravate already present respiratory diseases such as asthma, but long-term exposure can affect respiratory mortality. PM100 in the atmosphere causes visible air pollution affecting the aesthetics of the surrounding environment. PM100 monitoring is an efficient way to detect high concentration of particulate matter and prevent high-level exposures. Different working principles for monitoring particulate matter of all sizes in the ambient environment are gravimetric, TOEM, beta attenuation and laser scattering. OISOM's PM sensor works on the active sampling method of laser scattering that counts particulate matter using a highly accurate laser beam. OISOM's DESTROID is an online particulate monitoring system that measures the concentration of various particulate sizes ranging from 1 micron to 100 microns such as PM1, PM2.5, PM10 and PM100 in the ambient air. It can be used for dust monitoring in areas with dust-laden activities like construction, mining, quarrying, ports, metallurgical processes and many more. Real-time particulate matter monitoring using DESTROID can assist in dust separation automation for instance to activate suppressants at the location once the threshold is breached. I hope you now know all about PM100. For questions or suggestions please contact us. Thank you and happy learning.


Next question is from Tyler McNutrition. Any tips on knowing when to push a client to do more reps and when to back off? How do I know the difference between true physical exhaustion or them mentally giving up? Well, so here's the thing when you're training clients. You're training both, you're training both physical strength and durability and also their mental, their ability to withstand pain and to handle the training. And honestly, it doesn't matter which one. When I would train clients and I knew they could do more reps, but I knew that they mentally couldn't do more reps. Like I knew physically they could do more, but mentally they were breaking down. That's okay, we'll stop the set. And then what I do is gradually, slowly over time, I'll challenge that. Same thing if it was a physical limit, I'll gradually challenge that over time. But when you're training your clients, make no mistake, you're training the mental part as much or more than the physical part. Oh, this is, we kind of addressed this not that long ago about where we would use the slowing down the tempo. So here's an example like when, if I'm like wondering, oh gosh, can I push my clients or add more weight or add more repetitions? What I'll do is instead of risking that, because obviously if I add more weight or add more volume to the workout, I'm technically could put them at risk. And if I'm concerned about that at all, I'm always gonna go in the direction of slowing down the tempo and going that way first before giving them more in the workout, whether that be more sets and more reps or more weight, I'll challenge them that way. And you can still get the mental benefits of pushing them through that. I think this is why this is like such a more intimate experience than people realize. Because we're so, like as trainers, the good ones really try to hone in on everything that makes this person tick in terms of their body language, their energy levels, the feedback they're giving you verbally. Like you're picking up on all these cues constantly as you're presenting them these challenges. And so you can start to read them really well based off of like whatever they're dealing with at work or the conversation where that's going, okay, they're really high stress right now. And so you just start adjusting things for them without really them having to say it. Once you get really in tune with that person, I just think that that's all part of the experience of training somebody is to really look further into the signs of what they're providing you. And so you gotta be very present in those sessions with that person to do a good job with that. But it's experimental. So I mean, you're gonna see the wincing and all these signs of pain and discomfort and all that. And so you kind of back off, but then you could tell if they're faking it or if it's something like that you could kind of joke about and kind of make them more comfortable with and educate them on, well, let's kind of push a little harder or back off. Or you're just gonna know a lot more than them because they're providing you all the feedback. Yeah, you know, it's funny is that I just remembered this. This is a skill you develop as a trainer and clients would always comment on this. In fact, my son did a few weeks ago where I was training him and I'll say something like seven more reps and he'll be like, oh, I could do way more than that. I'm like, let's stop at seven. And then he'll get to seven and he'll be like, how did you know? How did you know I could only do seven more? That's a good point. And clients would say that to me all the time. To see whether they were moving. How do you always know that I can only do this many or how many reps I could do? You can. And it's a very hard. It's hard to explain how you could tell. Well, there's subtle cues I can give you hints. So it's natural default. What people will start to do is it starts to get challenging. They'll speed up the repetition, right? So they go, like maybe you told them, oh, four seconds on the way down to, and you're kind of telling them to start making more noises. Yeah, yeah, right. Or they'll start the formal deviate. You start to see movement in the elbows of the shoulders depending on what exercise we're doing. So you'll see them starting to, they're trying to cheat for leverage. And it'll be just the most subtle thing you'll see at first before it gets bad, right? But you start to see those subtleties of them starting to cheat or speed up. And I already know, okay, it's kicking in and feeling we've got maybe three or five more. And you've seen that enough times and you can pretty much guess that as a trainer. Yeah, it's always a lot of fun to be able to be able to do that and for clients to be like, how did you?  Yeah, no, I'm just a wizard.


Hey guys, this is Barrett Siltano. I am bringing you with our model, Nicole, the Shinyon Bouquet Breakdown, is what we're gonna call it today. We're gonna use some techniques of the traditional Shinyon of a lot of folding, a little bit of twisting. And we're gonna go through that as we do the entire up style right now. So you can see right now, I'm just taking a one and a half inch curling iron and we're going through the front part of Nicole's hair. And I like to start in the front when I'm doing a set, especially when someone who has a little bit of a thinner, straighter formation for their hair.  And as we go through, you're gonna see that I'm using two different irons. I'm using a one and a half and a one inch curling iron. I like to do two different kinds of curling irons with a straighter formation of hair, only because it gives a little bit more texture, one curl's a little bit wavier, one curl's a little bit more curled. But as I said, we're letting these curls right now sit and cool down so that when we go to do the up style, those are the first ones that we take down, but they've also had the longest to set in the curl. Same thing, horizontal sectionings. I like to take a one to one and a half inch sectioning. You don't wanna go too big with your sections. You wanna make sure that you're actually getting the curl complete around that iron. And if not the entire section, if you have those little baby fine hairs in the front, go through and just put a little bend in them because you are gonna get those up in the style as you go through. And you can also see that when I'm going through and clipping them, I really like to stay pretty uniform and pretty organized. As I'm going up, that's why I'm doing the horizontal sectionings, going with the round of her head. But I'm always using the pin curl clip and putting them on the right-handed side. I am right-handed. So if you're left-handed, you can really put them on either side. I would just recommend always keeping them on the same side because then when you go to take them out of the set, when you go to do the style itself, it doesn't disturb the curl too much. It doesn't rip apart the curl as you're taking it down. And also while you're doing a set, this is something I probably wouldn't do maybe on every client that comes into this lawn looking for a formal style, prom style, bridal style. When I do do brides, I always like to do a set on them because they are, you know, it's one of the most important days of their lives. As they all like to say, they really want to make sure that all those pictures, all the pictures that they get from their photographers, from their friends, that the hairstyle looks the same all day long. So if someone were coming in just for a night out on the town, you wouldn't necessarily have to do a complete set on them if their hair holds a curl pretty well. Like I said before, if they don't hold a curl, that would go through and do maybe a quicker set or at least to add a little bit of bend into their hair and let the curl cool off. So now the back sectioning is going to go from the nape all the way up to the crown, horizontal sectionings, changing every other row with the one inch to the one and a half inch. As we get to the top, I really like to split that. I like to use the bigger curling iron as we get to the top sections because that's more than likely where you're going to add a little bit more volume if you are going to add the volume to the up style. And then setting those up, letting them curl down, cool down, excuse me. And as we take the set down, I always like to start with the first curl that I pinned up on the sides. Sometimes you can leave the sides up if they do want some pieces down maybe in the front. Their fringe area is a little too short. You can leave those pieces up as you're doing the back of the up style. I always like to start at the back of the up style, really get a formation of where we're going with that style to see if they like it, where they want the front to live after that. Complete back is done. It's a little bit easier, I find, because you already have the style behind it. So right now we're just gonna do the base and you can see that I just twisted it around my hand and we're gonna let it fold into the rest of the hair because this is the base. We're probably gonna use a few more bobby pins than I would on every other piece. I like to make sure that the bobby pins are crisscrossed into an X because that really helps them lock in and make sure that it's nice and secure because you are gonna be pinning the rest of the hair onto this base right now. The chopsticks are really one of the things that I use a lot when it comes in up style and you're gonna see me using it to fold the hair into other pieces of the hair. You're gonna see me using it to section the hair away and you're also gonna see me using it just to fold in the edges of the hair as well. One reason why I really chose to call this a shinyan bouquet breakdown, shinyan traditionally is a lot of folding, making sure the hair is layered on top of each other. So this is more of a untraditional style of shinyan. There's a ton of different ways that you can do a very traditional shinyan. This is just taking the technique from the tradition and kind of updating it a little bit, using a little bit more folding, a little bit more sectioning in it. Taking something really classic and putting your own twists on it is a great way to come up with a new formal style for someone who comes in saying, you know what, I think I just want a shinyan, I think I want a French twist, something like that. Take that, those techniques.  Just take the techniques that I'm showing you with the twisting, with the folding. And, you know, the way that I'm spraying, the way that I'm using my combs, that my hands, you don't have to take everything from this, take one technique and use it in your styling and it can completely change the way that maybe you would go about something. It can give it a new spin on it, which is what we're doing with the shinyan, just taking the technique of the folding and putting a new spin on it. And you're gonna see that I use a lot of bobby pins, but I don't ever open them with my mouth. That is a huge no-no in my book.  So I would say just using, you don't have to open the bobby pin completely, but if you just pinch it open with your fingertips and then slide it up and then back down, you're gonna see, you've seen me do that quite a bit with each section. Go up and down with the bobby pin or even the hair pin. It really slides in nicely and hides the bobby pin because you never really wanna see those bobby pin ends sticking out in a formal style. And you always wanna make sure that you're using the same colored bobby pins as your client's hair. If you have a blonde client, make sure you're not using the black bobby pins. There we go, sliding up, sliding back down. Kind of tweaking those little tails right there. Using a lighter spray as we're going through, you don't wanna use a really firm spray as you're putting the style together, as you're folding the hair in together, only because then if you need to move a piece of hair, it's gonna be a little bit harder to move. I wouldn't use the firmer spray until the very ends of it. So I'm just using a light working spray but always spraying in the direction that the hair is living, that the cuticle is growing into. Because if you spray the opposite of the cuticle, then you're gonna fray out those ends a little bit more and nobody wants to have a little bit of frizz when it comes to a formal style, especially a bride from anybody. So always spraying in the direction that that hair is living. Important question to always ask your client too, it may seem really simple and that you wouldn't think would bother a lot of people is, do you want your ears covered? Do you want the tops of it, the hair laying on it? Do you want it behind it? I've found through the years that a lot of people say, ooh, I don't know, I don't actually think I want my ears shown, I think I want the hair to live a little bit over it. So that's one thing as you're getting to the front sections of this style that you want to make sure that you ask somebody, do you want it on that or do you not? And it could be just as simple yes or no, it maybe doesn't bother them at all but it's something that maybe they didn't even think about and you want to make sure that they're really happy with the entire style and especially the front of it because that's what they're seeing. That's where you can tweak it a little bit. If you see that they're getting a little uncomfortable, you can kind of tell their body language and seeing, oh, is she smiling, is she not? See how that client wants to wear the front of their hair. And again, with just folding that hair over, you're going to see that section has a nice little sleepiness to it instead of the twists and the folds into it. I really like to make sure that it's nice and cohesive. The front of this style is going to be a little bit more sleek, a little bit more subdued. So I want to make sure that the back of the hair ties into the front of the hair. And you can make a cohesive style even though it's a little bit more to one side, you can still make sure that it's even. You can make sure that the volume's even all the way around, that you have the sleekness on one side that you have on the other side as well as in the back. Going through, taking our last section on the side, and this is her heavy side. So this is where the fringe is going to live. Again, spraying backwards, doing a little fold right there, a little twist, but always stepping in front. Use your mirror as a stylus.  And they look right from the back and where you're placing it, but sometimes if you step in front of them, it has a whole different look. There we go, just opening that bobby pin with the tips of my finger. Folding the hair around each other, stepping in front, seeing where I want those ends to live. Again, just making sure that you're spraying in the direction that that hair's going, using the tail comb to get those little fine hairs above the ear. Especially on this heavy side, you want to get the lower section above the ear if you're going to let the rest of it live on top of the ear. And you can see I kind of changed my body position as well. I went in and moved more to the front of her hair as I'm doing the heavy section, so I can see where those hairs are going to live and where I'm going to fold them into the base of the style. I think using hair pins is really important when it comes to up styling, especially when you're doing the front of the hair or doing the tops of it, because those are the parts that the client's going to see. They're not going to see the base underneath. Everything, because we folded everything and layered everything on top of each other. So you really want to make sure that those pieces are nice and slick, but using the hair pin to put it in place and then see if you like where it is.  And then going back in and putting a bobby pin in it or maybe putting another hair pin in there. We're getting to the fringe section of her hair. Again, spraying in that direction. You see that a lot in this section. Lightly combing this hair. You don't want to disturb the curl too much because then you're going to brush the curl that you put in and work so hard with the set. You're going to brush it completely out if we go a little harsh with the brushing. Again, just folding that hair nicely into it. That's why I'm kind of using this as a Shinyon bouquet breakdown. Like I said, we called it before. As I'm folding the hair into the style, you can kind of see it almost looks like little rose buds. That's why we kind of use the bouquet word for it. And then the folding section for the Shinyon. And if you have any little hairs out of place, you can take a step back at it and then see that it might need a bobby pin or a hair pin if it's a larger piece. Using the bobby pin for the larger pieces and the hair pins for those little fine pieces that you can just slide right into the rest of it. Fringe is really important. Just use the tail comb or the end of my brush just to place that in there. Nice and sleek. And there you have a nice formal style for our model Nicole, the Shinyon bouquet breakdown.
