Whilst this is not directly about Catapult, I thought it is worth a listen for those interested in the sports data market that Catapult competes in. My big take aways were:
- The athletes are more valuble than the clubs so there are big budgets available for small increments in performance.
- Video is the way of the future for athlete tracking.
- Recent rule changes for the NCAA college sport system in the US which will see increased spending on athletes.
- Clubs can profit from trading athletes but they need the data to choose the best fit for their team
- Games without a timeout are harder to formulate? (I couldn't get my head around that)
