Technology and Sports management

technology and sports are becoming one in the same. In this years NFL draft combine Under Armour created a shirt called the E39 which measured a players heart rate and G force (measuring their ability to perform when tired) while doing drills organized by the league, this affects how high a player is chosen in the impending draft. It affects my major because if your representing a player in a setting like that if your client has a bad combine his weaknesses can be exposed and thus drop from a sure first round draft pick to a late round or even not getting drafted.

Also a series of experiments using technology to studies athletes from different sports and their physical abilities,the show is appropriately named sports science. This would affect me positively because in this case the players unique abilities are measured in technology science

and this is how technology can affect my major
