Sport Tech Weekly podcast episode 2: Kobe’s life after sports, tech changing the Olympics, Atlanta’s new high-tech stadium, fun Hunter Pence and cupping
Welcome to episode 2 of Sport Tech Weekly. This week, we look at what Kobe Bryant is going to be up to post-basketball (hint: some smart stuff) — and a quick look at what other athletes are doing after their pro sports days are over.
Next, a peek at the technology that changed the Olympics — and how tech has made a bigger impact, even four short years removed from London.
Our conversation this week is with Jared Miller, chief technology officer for AMB Sports & Entertainment in Atlanta, where he discusses how the new Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta will embrace tech and the fan experience.
Finally, catching up with Hunter Pence of the San Francisco Giants and a little more on “cupping,” the creepy, reportedly therapeutic method used by Michael Phelps and other athletes in Rio.
