The Internet of Things (IoT) allows organizations and individuals alike to harness the power of data to gain better understandings and insights into whatever problem, task or situation they face. In sports, the same power can be achieved with IoT, but where exactly does IoT fit in the world of sports?
- Athletes: IoT devices can help improve athletic performance, monitor progression and measure player efficiencies.
- Teams: Collecting data from wearables and connected devices can help teams understand how to improve in-game strategy, understand opponents’ weaknesses and make better draft selections and trade decision.
- Fans: Sensors can drastically improve the fan experience and help make a trip to the stadium more about the game than waiting in lines for beer and popcorn.
