This session on 26 January, brought to you by our Leaders Performance Institute partners, Keiser, will explore the intersection of sports science and coaching where using data correctly can be a key differentiator between wins and losses.
In this session, Jordan Ott of the Brooklyn Nets and Kate Weiss of Seattle Mariners Baseball, will share their knowledge and expertise alongside our moderator Steve Gera of Gains Group. We'll be exploring communication in a high-performance environment where sports science and coaching meet, asking our experts how they ensure that the approach to data within the organisation is one which can have a positive impact on team performance.
Jordan Ott is in his sixth season as an assistant coach with the Brooklyn Nets and will be sharing his insights about how he uses data to optimize the NBA teams performance. Previously, Jordan spent three seasons as the video coordinator for the Atlanta Hawks with Head Coach, Mike Budenholzer.
