Have you ever found yourself switching tabs between tech news and sports scores, thinking there must be a better way to track how technology is transforming sports? That's exactly where this newsletter began.
Why Another Sports Tech Newsletter?
As a tech professional by day and sports enthusiast by night, I noticed something missing: a comprehensive, single source of truth for sports technology news and analysis. While excellent publications covered individual stories, there wasn't a central hub that connected all the dots – from athlete performance tech to smart stadiums, from AI applications to fan engagement platforms.
So I created one.
