Turning Opportunity into Success: Fusion Sport and the MIT Sloan Sports Analytics Conference

In the words of Bobby Unser, “Success is where preparation and opportunity meet”.  

Participating in such events as the MIT Sloan Sports Analytics Conference, there is no doubt that our success was a reflection of countless hours of planning and dedication from the whole Fusion Sport team. Everyone across the organisation was involved from Customer Success, Sport Science, Marketing, Education and Engineering teams.    

While our team’s commitment to the conference was certainly evident in its success, we could not have pulled the event off without the fantastic support of some of our partners who were gracious enough to share their athlete data management journeys. A special thanks to the Australian Institute of Sport, the University of Oregon, Geelong Cats Football Club and the United States Air Force Research Lab for their involvement. 

Such world-class events as the MIT Sloan Sports Analytics Conference give brands like us the opportunity to network with professionals that share our passion for driving human performance. A valuable lesson that I have learnt from attending similar events over the years, is the importance of being proactive. As we transgress into a society  powered by technology, we cannot underestimate the opportunity of meeting new people. By persevering, being proactive and stepping out of our comfort zones we can share our ideas and be heard by others. Preparation, planning and a commitment to succeed will turn your ideas into a reality.  

At Fusion Sport we pride ourselves in being a people orientated company. Whether you belong to a military organisation, Olympic committee, pro team, or work in the performing arts, our focus is to empower our customers to do better. We understand that the key to delivering quality human performance products lies in the importance of listening to our customers and striving to exceed expectations.  

If you were unable to attend the Sports Analytics Conference this year we want to make sure you still have access to the recordings of all these sessions. Stay tuned and sign up to the blog to ensure you get these when they are released!
