Atlanta, GA, August 09, 2017 –(PR.com)– The International Sports Technology Association supported by Dartfish launches an inaugural Global Sports Technology Awards initiative to recognize the talent behind cutting-edge technology applications across the sports industry.
David Geddes, ISTA Chief Executive, said, “The sports industry, from athlete performance to the fan experience, is now more than ever shaped by new technologies. ISTA is recognizing global influencers who are on the frontline of the sports technology revolution.”
ISTA launched its official awards website and is now accepting individual nominations in ten categories. (http://www.istawards.com) Categories for the awards cover sports science, sports engineering, sports medicine, and sports technology, while inviting investors, entrepreneurs, coaches, athletes, professors, programmers, analysts, managers, and many more to apply.
“The multi-billion dollar sports industry is currently struggling to adopt new technologies which seem to arrive every week,” said Tino Mantella, ISTA Co-Founder. Mantella went on to say, “While there are numerous technology awards for businesses, the industry has been slow to recognize the individuals who contribute to the success of technology in sport.”
Dartfish, the leading sports video analytics platform for amateur athletes and elite programs, is supporting the awards initiative. Dartfish utilizes a network of certified users often hired as embedded consultants within pro and elite sports programs. Victor Bergonzoli, co-founder of Dartfish believes that their certified analysts would make great award winners.
The new awards initiative expects a flood of nominations including celebrity personalities. However, the initiative is open to any nominee and even self-nominations. The association’s judging panel will follow up with first round semi-finalists during the first week of September.
Another interesting aspect to keep the awards noticeably displayed in any office settings is the one-of-a-kind custom art pieces designed to memorialize a winner’s achievements. ISTA’s awards are free to all applications.
