Mbappe trains with his artificial intelligence glasses to improve his performance: "I'm always looking for an advantage"

Kylian Mbappe is taking a futuristic approach to training as the French forward has partnered with Oakley and Meta to use the Meta Vanguard AI glasses, aiming to refine his skills and gain every possible advantage.

The Meta Vanguard glasses are designed for elite athletes, equipped with Oakley Prizm lenses for optimal clarity, a 12MP hands-free camera for 3K video, and open-ear speakers. They allow Mbappe to capture and review his training in real time.

Integration with devices like Garmin watches and Strava gives Mbappe instant performance metrics. Every sprint, dribble, and shot is tracked, letting him analyze his technique and adjust minute details that could affect match performance.

"I'm always looking for any edge that helps me improve as a competitive athlete," Mbappe told BroBible. "What Meta and Oakley have created is exciting because it pushes the limits of how athletes train and connect with technology.

"It is about using innovation to enhance performance while staying completely present in what you are doing. That spirit really spoke to me."
