In the early 2000’s the sports industry began implementing digital infrastructure to optimize the quantified athlete, offer deeper brand analytics, and adopt systems to enrich the fan experience. Modern technologies now protect athletes, empower diverse rights holders, and influence happier fans – smarter technologies and innovative methods are now critical must-have’s for sporting cultures worldwide.
In 2012, two sports innovators sat down for lunch to discuss all things sports technologies. They agreed that helping others navigate the chaotic marketplace and prepare innovators for the challenges ahead was a noble cause. Soon they merged their social media efforts and by 2015 began their outreach to help municipalities, leagues and federations, teams and innovators – successfully harness the emerging sector.
Innovation and technology enrich fan experiences, protect athletes, and fuel investments. Sporting cultures who embrace technologies faster and apply them more accurately – will find winning impact.
