PS: Biosignal Analysis are complex, speak about CNS low or high stress is relative to:

1. Athlete Level
2. Training
3. Recovery
4. Other physiological system

In a team you have young athletes at their first year at top level team and they have a physiological level of response to stress, medium age athletes (about 22-26) and old athletes (>28), plus their specific role on the field.
CNS stress is different for any single player and often not predictable.
You can do statistic trend, but a night of bad sleep put your statistic into the garbage!

Again, work on the field is not as a test in a lab with all comfort.

I agree. In fact a lot of coaches are reductionists in a chaotic world. They don’t have a clue.
