The team behindSportlight
Elite sport makes high-stakes decisions about players every day: who trains, who plays, who is ready to return.Those decisions are only as good as the movement data behind them.
Too often, that data comes from several systems that don’t agree, and it is hardest to measure well for the fast, multidirectional actions that matter most. We set out to measure movement directly, to one standard, wherever athletes train and play.
