Business Intelligence that tracked metrics as key performance indicators and analytical formulas still remain the trend across Fortune 500 companies. Now the good news for database administrators, statisticians, database developers, and report analysts is that the sports industry has caught onto what has been the fundamental premise on how successful companies have maintained their longevity and competitive stand for years.Data that can be downloaded by wearable devices to track calorie intake, high performance exertion, muscle over usage, functional movement, heart rates, and speed can help lessen injuries, identify when athletes have reached their maximum potential, notify coaches when players should be rested, provide data to trainers to help correct incorrect form or create stabilization programs and help decision-making concerning performance incentive bonuses.
This can ultimately lead to determining when a player is at his prime based on physical limitations and contribute to trade and contract negotiations regarding how large his next contract should be given his positional longevity and personal standings. It can further reduce the side effects of losing a key player during a season like having to quickly develop inexperienced players to take the spot, risk losses due to the adjustments needed because of losing a star player, overexerting other players that would need to fill in the slack and worse - ending a season with no playoffs.
The power the data provides to the purview for the Coach and General Manager can strengthen the team. Now we will see which sports will follow suit like the NBA and its teams did with SAP Hana, specialized algorithms, and Big Data to score big on quality team restructuring.
