A lot of lacrosse technology today!
After talking about where I'll be sharing content, both written and this podcast, going forward, we discuss NLL+. It's a new direct to consumer streaming platform from the NLL, offering game replays, live game viewing options, features, and more. Why is this important, what does it mean for how you and I will watch the NLL, and why is it so crucial leading up to LA 2028?
Then, we keep the tech talk going. Joe Pompo, co-founder of Get Reps, joins to talk about the R1 Smart Lacrosse Ball. Already being used by lacrosse coaches and players like John Galloway, Joey Spallina, Emma Ward, and Michelle Tumolo, it's a ball that allows you to track data and reps in real time as you train. We talk about the genesis of the idea, getting it to market, how it's being used today. Of course, I let my imagination run wild and think about the ways it could impact, competition, broadcast, and advanced analytics, so we cover that too.
