Scouting and Talent Identification with AI

Image
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is transforming sports talent scouting and identification by improving data analysis, decision-making, and others. Here we will explain a detailed look at how AI is changing this field: Data-Driven Scouting Traditional scouting uses to depend on the decisions and insufficient data that scouters have. This is why AI gives a lot of different options of a wider point of view from hidden talents, also AI offers a data methodology that finds potential talent by evaluating huge databases. Performance Metrics Analysis is where AI algorithms come into play by processing lots of information like player statistics, game performances or  physical aspects. What AI can evaluate nowadays is insane, it can recapt information of a soccer player's passing accuracy, speed, and decision-making under pressure to judge suitability for higher competition levels. Video analysis is when computer vision technology enables AI to analyze game footage, where players use their skil...

How AI enhances fan experience

Image
                                                                                 AWS AI feature shown on live streaming AI has revolutionized the sports industry and one of the main reasons is because it has improved the fan experience and how spectators not only watch a game but also feel inside of it. AI is capable of transforming fans from spectators and consumers to active participants of the show, and this is very important because it brings a lot of value and helps clubs to generate more revenue and benefit from it.  One of the best improvements AI has brought is the smart stadiums , designed to maximize fans' experience and feel an immersive scenario. Some features that we can find in stadiums that use AI and IoT (Internet of Things) are f...

Injury Prediction and Prevention through AI

Image
AI's Injury Prediction and Prevention have taken a big step toward securing athletes' care. Technology and techniques are leading the way to safer player mindfulness with less injury and a more effective rehabilitation process. AI powered wearables and biometric tracking devices such as the WHOOP strap, Oura Ring, and Catapult are changing the way the athletes' physiological variables are monitored in real time. These devices monitor variance in heart rate, sleep quality, muscle strain, and respiratory rate. BY continuously analyzing these data, AI recognizes the first signals of potential overexertion, dehydration, or insufficient recovery that, eventually, may end in an injury. For example, a decrease in heart rate variation may be a sign of fatigue which makes coaches rearrange an athlete's training. AI doesn't only just monitor data, it gives specific recovery methods for individual cases. Monitoring biometric trends over time, AI supports development of indivi...
