Entry 44 brings you Australian tennis coach, and now, Playsight Managing Director for Europe and UK. Rodney didn't start playing tennis until he was 12 and entered his 1st competition at 13. Less than 5 years later, he was competing in the Australian Open Junior Event. This is a meteoric rise. He took up a college scholarship and gained a degree in Forensic Science. He wanted to join the CIA but a twist of fate lead him back into tennis coaching in North London. Several years later, he moved on to an academy in Frankfurt, Germany and now works full-time for Playsight. We talked about the different tennis cultures between Britain and Germany, how the pro tour needs to completely restructure, how he set up the 1st pro sports event in lockdown which was watched by 180 million people and finally how Playsight hopes to lead the way in revolutionising the screen watching experience for tennis fans.

“We all have FitBits and Apple Watches. Imagine if you can start connecting your numbers, your analytics, your sports performance with your favorite players.” (click to tweet) Welcome back to Verizon Ventures. This is Part 2 of our conversation around sporting technologies. Last week we discussed how technology can enhance fan experience, and today we focus on how it can improve player development. Joining us are the talented: LJ Rader, Product Manager at Verizon Jeff Angus, Head of Marketing at Playsight “We’ve been working with everyone from the Golden State Warriors to sports academies with 10-12 year-olds. It’s a tool for athletes to help them get better. Everybody can use it.” (click to tweet) Highlights Products like Nike’s Fuelband aren’t innovation in terms of disrupting a learning process Look at Verizon Ventures’ portfolio company PlaySight’s SmartCourt to see how an innovative product empowers a coach to more effectively cut through the noise in his/her students Simulating in-game conditions helps mentally train players Imagine being a soccer goalkeeper who can virtually look at all previous kickers tendencies/habits Most experts favor augmented reality or virtual reality A new jumbotron prototype empowers spectators to use the technology when dormant Utilization technologies repurposes assets that aren’t being used (ex: Lyft, jumbotron) Stadium AR could pipe venue analytics to the user to improve gameday experience (ex: concessions prices, bathroom lines, etc. Opening analytics to the public could mean knowing Lebron’s heart rate at the free throw line or distance run all season “For athletes, the mental aspect is arguably more important than the physical talent.” (click to tweet) Resources PlaySight SmartCourt https://www.playsight.com/ Full Show Notes at: VerizonVentures.com/podcast
“We’re not going to change the purity of the game. We’re just going to enhance the experience in a way bigger than we ever imagined.” (click to tweet) Welcome back to Verizon Ventures. On today’s episode, we are discussing the rise of sporting technologies that enrich the fan experience. From VR headsets to live-streaming in multiple languages, there are many different ways in which tech can be integrated into our sports-viewing paradigm. Joining us are the talented: LJ Rader, Product Manager at Verizon Jeff Angus, Head of Marketing at Verizon Ventures portfolio company, Playsight “If you have a Head of Innovation, you’re doing it wrong. Innovation is a department.” (click to tweet) Highlights Some innovation comes off as gimmick-y Innovation is a department, not a single person effort Look at PlaySight’s SmartCourt as an example of how innovation intended for one purpose (player development) can be reappropriated for another purpose (live-streaming) There’s a trend in sports broadcasting where spectators harness live-streaming platforms like Facebook Live to commentate Real Madrid is the most valuable sports team in the world; not because of their fans in Madrid, but because of their fans all over the world It’s getting increasingly more expensive to attend live sporting events There is still a long way to go with VR before you feel completely in the venue The social component of VR will make you able to sit amongst your friends’ avatars Look to the chat logs of sporting event live-streams to see the power of social in fan experience Broadcast technologies will empower viewers to choose commentator of genre choice (ex: funny vs. tactical/strategic) “When the technology catches up to the in-person venue experience, that’s when it gets exciting.” (click to tweet) Resources PlaySight SmartCourt https://www.playsight.com/ Full Show Notes at: VerizonVentures.com/podcast

PlaySight Head of Sales Racquet Sports, Josh Graves, grew up in tennis. Upon graduating from Northwestern where he played #1 for the men's tennis team, he sought a job. Using the vast store of resources he developed throughout his tennis career, he landed his ideal job: working with a cutting-edge tech company in the tennis arena. PlaySight has really changed since I was first introduced to it at the 2014 NCAA Tennis Championships. The company has created more affordable options for colleges and other facilities that want to bring the latest video, streaming, and stats technology to their users. Now, PlaySight is situated in 20 of the 32 schools represented at the NCAA Team Championships as well as at the new USTA Lake Nona facility. They also have a presence in several private clubs around the world, including the Indian Wells Tennis Garden. The PlaySight folks have also created a great new tournament format called PlayFair using their video replay capabilities as a sort of challenge system (click here for my article on the first collegiate PlayFair tournament). So far, PlayFair has been very well received by key players, including coaches, officials, and players. PlaySight has partnered with USTA to test out the PlayFair format at some junior tournaments. We should expect to see more of these tournaments over the coming months which is great news for junior tennis. PlaySight has developed an app as well, which can be downloaded free of charge from the App Store or the PlaySight website. It provides free video annotating and sharing as well as free viewing of livestreaming. To reach PlaySight, go to www.playsight.com. You can also find them on the various social media outlets.

On this episode, we spoke to Rod Rapson, the Managing Director of PlaySight in Europe. PlaySight is a smart sport technology with artificially intelligent powered cameras. Because PlaySight's High Definition cameras don't require humans to operate the broadcast, the PlaySight technology allowed them to officially bring sports back by launching the Tennis Point Exhibition in Germany which was covered by CNN, ESPN, The New York Times, and many more.PlaySight’s technology proved extremely valuable during COVID times in the new normal. In this podcast, Rod spoke about his background as a tennis player and how those experiences helped him lead PlaySight through launching the Tennis Point Exhibition, why it was important to him personally to put the players first and get them back on the court to earn a living, and how the future of sports technology can help clubs better prepare for OTT offerings.Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/sport-lifestyle-podcast/donations
