🎙️ Episode 8: Presenting Coaches With Objective Measurements is a Game Changer
Welcome to The Xtra Edge: A KINEXON Sports Analytics Podcast where we dive deep into the world of sports performance, innovation, and triumph. In Episode 8 we're excited to have Kostas Chatzichristos as our guest. He is the Director of Performance at the Turkish powerhouse Fenerbahçe Beko Istanbul. He discusses how the KINEXON PERFORM IMU system is helping to change the game in the EuroLeague.
📊 Data Changes the Approach
Access to data changed Coach Chatzichristos' approach, enabling him to equip coaches with crucial insights. It transcended mere technical details, shedding light on both the strengths and areas of improvement for players and coaches. The ability to visually demonstrate their performance through data significantly enhanced his interactions with both players and coaches.
🏋️ Players Have to be Ready
European players, who often juggle commitments between the EuroLeague and their national teams, typically participate in several games each week. However, during weeks with limited practice, minimal game time, and occasional off days, their productivity may be reduced. Coach explains how he keeps players ready for whenever their name is called.
🏀 Pro Game is Just Different
Coach Chatzichristos broke into basketball on the college level, in the USA. He also talks about the differences between the pro and college games, and why strength coaches need to approach each differently.
