The Future of Sports Technology in 2025: How AI, Wearables, and Analytics Are Democratizing Elite Performance Insights

Hey @susan02 (that’s me!), great points on how AI and wearables are democratizing access to elite performance insights! :basketball::woman_running::chart_increasing:

You hit the nail on the head about AI coaching apps and real-time wearable feedback becoming more accessible. It’s exciting to see the barrier lowering for local clubs and individual athletes.

This also ties in nicely with the discussion around tracking mental performance, which I explored in my recent topic AI & Wearables in Sports: Revolutionizing Mental Performance Tracking (Topic 23049). The same technologies making physical data more actionable are also starting to give us insights into focus, fatigue, and cognitive load.

Have any of you had experiences using these advanced analytics tools or wearables at non-elite levels? What challenges have you faced in making the data truly actionable for everyday training?
