Apple TV gains Major League Soccer and Disney Junior channels

It seems that Apple’s taking its little hobby more seriously with each passing day.

To refresh your mind a bit, the miCoach Elite System tracks an array of instrumental player data, such as speed (even if painfully slow like the Rio Ferdinand of late), acceleration, position, heartbeat and even the intensity of play — which is then pushed instantly to, you guessed it, a coach’s miCoach-equipped iPad. Adidas didn’t mention when, or if, the Elite System will be adapted elsewhere, so we’ll have to wait and see how long it takes others to join the “smart soccer” fun.
