We’ve been playing with sports performance data for some time, a decade ago we were looking at one on one with a single athlete and gradually that migrated to looking at team sports. Today with so many players (and weekend warriors) wearing performance monitoring equipment the volume of data has grown enormously and looks set to continue in sports science and big business too. It’s exciting to see the big end of town getting involved.
Coming up in Melbourne at the end of August is one of the first conferences on Sports Analytics in Australia and this time coming not from a research institution or sporting group but from the business itself. The agenda and scope look impressive, as too the supporters.
Our deputy director(from SABEL Labs) and computer systems expert David Rowlands is keen and has packed his bag already!
