Using sensor technology\, computer vision\, and VR\, startups and tech companies are developing state-of-the-art algorithms that reveal physiological details about the athletes as they train and compete. Now every professional sports team is investing in analytics. Precise data provides coaches and fans with intimate knowledge about each player on the field\, allowing them to view the game like never before. As sports technology evolves\, it gets relied on more and more each day. \nThe sports analytics industry\, according to Research and Markets analysts\, is expected to reach $3.97B over the next five years — but is not without controversy. Athletes are concerned about who has the right to their personal data\, and many have speculated that draft picks and player salaries could be determined by the data. \n\nWill sports analytics be available to all\, or to only teams with the biggest budgets?\nWho stands to make the most money?\nWhich sports are changing as a result of sports analytics technology?\n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Moderator\n \n \n \n \n \n Ted Ramey\, Sports Broadcaster at KNBR 1050 and Radio PXP voice of the SJ Earthquakes\, and AM sports anchor at 107.7 The Bone \n \n \n \n \n \n Panelists\n \n \n \n \n \n Michael Sharf\, Founder and CEO\, Bridge Athletic \nSteven Smith\, Founder and CEO\, Kitman Labs \nHoward G.
