From the shoes we wear on our feet to the high definition televisions in our living room, wearable devices, the sports universe is a breeding ground for technology. Writer and Photographer Rick Limpert will examine this each week on The Tech of Sports – With guests which include athletes, inventors and journalists that cover the intersection of sports and technology.
We are going to go off the grid tonight with Shane Lewis. He’s an adventurer, a self-described adrenaline junkie, and a survivor. He’s survived 5 foster homes, 4 institutional boarding schools and every obstacle you can imagine. He’s now globetrotting our world and being an “extreme athlete” in every sense of the word, but he never loses perspective -. Learning about himself and life along the way.
There are currently a lot of great stories in the world of sports technology and it’s hard to make sense of all of them. Rick takes some time tonight to answer some questions and give his opinions.
Rick talks to two entrepreneurs in the golf world. Sean Yakeley is the founder of Odyssey-Solutions and Louis Girifalco run Rope It. Some great talk tonight about the process of bringing a product to market and they talk about their experiences. Also they tell us what they think of “Shark Tank”.
This week Rick is joined by sports technology expert Bob Roble. Roble is based in Seattle and with his startup, SportsTechieNet, he covers everything in the world of sports technology. Rick and Bob go head-to-head talking about the latest trends in sports tech.
I joined Tony Cruise and the Morning Show at WHAS in Louisville on Tuesday morning to talk about Atlanta hosting the Final Four as thousands of Cardinals fans will be making the trek to Atlanta.
