Editor's Notes

  • #3 I completed a Bachelor of Sport and Exercise Science at the best university in the Country at the time and didn’t learn anything about Performance analysis, let alone SportsCode. I went into that degree wanting to work in Elite Sport as most Sport Scientists do. This could be an avenue to that job if I had the skills Only 1% of BSpExSc students at the time moved into Elite Sport
  • #4 The universities that have a reputation for being more innovative and practical really understood our vision and their need to incorporate SportsCode into their degrees. The ones that tend to be more ‘academic’ didn’t really get it. These are more traditional Universities who will be the product laggers. They do things based on tradition so establishing new ideas is much more difficult. If you’re looking for where to start, go with the newer universities.
  • #5 Not enough to simply list the Universities as a User. They are doing more than that by teaching students coming through. Create a generation of students who align themselves with our product who can potentially go on to be head coaches and decision makers The partnership is free with their purchase and is just add added benefit to their package. It’s a line that also opens the door when contacting potentially new customers: ‘we have a partnerships program for universities’
  • #6 prior to the partnerships being up on the website, I’d be fielding calls from users as to where to find work experience students. Sometimes, they’d be finding students themselves but they had no knowledge of the product and the majority of the analysts’ time was spent teaching them the product. Users were also starting to ask where they could do further study that might incorporate some SportsCode. It was a natural marriage. Having the partnerships recognised online saves me time in linking everyone- the contact details of the courses are included.
