University of Texas, LSU, USC, Duke, and Ohio State join over 300 top collegiate programs leveraging Blast solution for player performance insights

 

Blast Motion, an information company that provides motion analysis and performance insights, today announced that 300 top collegiate programs, including Big 12, SEC, Pac-12, ACC, and Big Ten colleges, are using Blast Baseball, Blast Softball, Blast Golf, and Blast Connect premium services for player development and recruiting. With the Blast sensor, colleges gain the same capabilities and benefits proven at the professional levels. It provides coaches, collegiate recruiters, and professional scouts with the information and coaching insights they need to make informed player decisions. When combined with Blast Connect, college coaches can create advanced player performance baselines, compare improvement trends over time, and conduct training sessions with real-time feedback. The longer the Blast solution is used to collect data, the richer the view of a player’s historical performance and future potential.

 

“As a result of the success we have had at the professional levels, we are now starting to see a natural progression of the Power 5 conferences and hundreds of collegiate programs deploying our player development solutions,” said Jeff Fallis, Vice President of Sales, Blast Motion. “When college programs have access to Blast information, coaches can begin to assess, develop, and even recruit players much more objectively. As a result of implementing Blast, the information they are gathering creates a baseline by providing a historical view of a player’s performance to determine their future potential. That’s the value Blast information provides to collegiate programs – a competitive advantage, a more efficient and effective training process, and ultimately more wins.”
