How Smart Coaches Use Technology -- w/ Pocket Radar CEO Steve Goody

Published on: 19th October, 2020

Technology isn't what sets the top teams apart. It's how they USE it.

I'm sure by now you've noticed the trend around using technology in our sport.

You can measure speed, spin rate, power... almost everything!

But the technology itself isn't what helps your players.

What helps them get motivated, build confidence and make improvements... is how YOU use that data!

Listen in today to learn more about one of our FAVORITE technologies: The Smart Coach radar by Pocket Radar!

We love it because it's accurate, gives you data PLUS video together, and it keeps things SIMPLE.

That way, you can focus on what matters most: coaching!
