How tech can help Pro Sports recover from major disruption

COVID disrupted pro sports leagues around the world just like it
disrupted the rest of society. The implications for this
multi-billion dollar industry are still being realized. At the
moment, we have players competing in empty stadiums so we can all
watch it on TV. Some leagues have collected all of their players
and team staff in isolated "bubbles" to limit the risk of
exposure to COVID-19. Tied to it all is a lot of new technology.
At first blush, it looks like tech to help keep players healthy.
But look a bit closer and you might realize this is an
accelerating trend towards an enhanced understanding of player
performance.
