It\u2019s allowed us to not only benefit from the latest sports technology, but also opened our eyes to another world of data that was previously unseen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s never easy to stay up to date with the latest hardware or software, given the speed of the tech industry as a whole; but it is worthwhile to be open minded and aware of the resources available to you, your team, or your organization.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-pullquote\"><blockquote><p>\u201cThe global sports technology market was valued at $17.9 billion in 2021 and is expected to reach $40.2 billion by 2026\u201d<\/p><cite><a href=\"https:\/\/www.marketsandmarkets.com\/Market-Reports\/sports-technology-market-104958738.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Markets and Markets<\/a><\/cite><\/blockquote><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p>Given the projections above, this market is preparing to boom for the next decade at the least. Whether you invest to save time, save money, or gain insight, there are many systems and devices you might be missing out on. There\u2019s truly never a bad time to look into the latest technology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some technologies that have transformed the world of sports:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.fifa.com\/technical\/football-technology\/standards\/video-assistant-referee\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Video Assistant Referee (VAR)<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=_Ng8ngRCkbw\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Sensor technologies<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/traceup.com\">Automated Video<\/a> <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.whoop.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Wearables<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Finding the right solution<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re a decision maker of a club or organization, you\u2019re likely wearing different hats and have a key role in the future of the club. When adding a piece of technology into your club, you must first find a problem worth solving, then select the most beneficial solution. It\u2019s also important to identify which teams or groups will benefit from your decision. Taking care of your families and coaches is key to making the right decision, rather than putting square pegs into round holes and sinking fees into a solution that doesn\u2019t work alongside your mission. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"427\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/traceup.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/TRACE-2-40.jpg?resize=640%2C427&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-22635\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/traceup.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/TRACE-2-40.jpg?resize=750%2C500&amp;ssl=1 750w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/traceup.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/TRACE-2-40.jpg?resize=300%2C200&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/traceup.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/TRACE-2-40.jpg?resize=768%2C512&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/traceup.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/TRACE-2-40.jpg?resize=1536%2C1024&amp;ssl=1 1536w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/traceup.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/TRACE-2-40.jpg?resize=2048%2C1365&amp;ssl=1 2048w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/traceup.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/TRACE-2-40.jpg?resize=1200%2C800&amp;ssl=1 1200w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/traceup.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/TRACE-2-40.jpg?resize=600%2C400&amp;ssl=1 600w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/traceup.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/TRACE-2-40.jpg?w=1280&amp;ssl=1 1280w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/traceup.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/TRACE-2-40.jpg?w=1920&amp;ssl=1 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Trace Case and Sensor Technology<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p>Most clubs and organizations are focusing on improving player performance, recruitment tools, and player retention. With many leagues deciding to mandate video, the club may be in need of an automated video solution. Maybe you\u2019re looking to maximize performance through the use of performance metrics, or possibly in need of a recruiting service to get your players\u2019 seen for the next level.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You might even get lucky, finding a solution like Trace, which provides a true all-in-one solution, encapsulating an <a href=\"https:\/\/traceup.com\/soccer\/how-it-works\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">automated video and editing solution<\/a>, including <a href=\"https:\/\/traceup.com\/how-to-use-soccer-statistics-to-improve\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">personalized performance metrics<\/a>, and a recruiting platform (<a href=\"https:\/\/traceup.com\/soccer\/trace-id\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Trace iD<\/a>) to cover individual recognition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=L9l7nvVm4OM\" rel=\"nofollow\">https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=L9l7nvVm4OM<\/a>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How You Can Benefit from Technology You All Year Round<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>When you have a solution that\u2019s available all year round, seasonality is much less of an issue. While you may not be playing games the entire year round, users will have access to data, video content, and other resources during the offseason (<a href=\"https:\/\/traceup.com\/soccer\/pricing\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">how most yearly subscription, cloud-based services work<\/a>). Having access to these resources all year round helps with development, recruiting, and future decision making.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With more time spent on the field, there\u2019s more flexibility for the addition of products and services that could be implemented at any time. You won\u2019t need to purchase a service to start the day of your season start, as you\u2019re likely able to use it nearly all year round anyways. With the supply chain delays worldwide, it\u2019s also highly recommended that you look into solutions with plenty of time before it\u2019s needed, that way you aren\u2019t sitting around waiting for your new favorite purchase.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to Implement at Your Club<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019ve invested into another solution previously, or have yet to make the jump, one recommendation is to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.guru99.com\/pilot-testing.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">pilot test<\/a> a system. There are common difficulties when it comes to implementing technology in youth sports, but no need to worry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As a director, you might feel that all teams at the organization need the same technology, but it doesn\u2019t always happen that way. A club-wide implementation is always available, but it\u2019s typically more valuable to test out certain products or services with one team, then moving to a full scale implementation once the right fit is found.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It can be difficult to keep up with the latest sports technology.
