Every day, the world is getting more and more connected, and that applies to amateur sports, too! College coaches have less and less time to ingest more and more data, and their world has seemingly gotten more complicated by the influx of sensor-based technologies.

If you’ve been following us over the past few months, you have seen that we’ve announced partnerships with Diamond Kinetics and Zepp (both for baseball and softball swing metrics), and Zybek (for sprint and pro agility shuttle times). Through these partnerships, we are creating a more connected world, meaning that coaches can use these products in combine environments and watch the data all land in SportsBoard without a single keystroke on the computer, or using pen/paper and Excel.

This scenario is slowly becoming the standard for travel ball environments. Last summer and fall, Triple Crown Sports and Premier Girls Fastpitch used SportsBoard on iPads to digitally capture test results in real time on the field, a good start. This summer, both companies will leverage the integration we have completed with Zepp and Diamond Kinetics to aggregate the data without even entering it into an iPad, and then distribute it to leaderboards and online faster than ever before.

In amateur sports, we’ve entered a new era. Technology will continue to streamline and expedite the measurement collection and publication process. And that will only make it easier for college coaches to screen talent initially, formulate recruiting strategies that are efficient, and ultimately win more!
