Over the last two weeks, NBC Sports Group’s SportsEngine has formed partnerships with Blast Motion, a provider of wearable motion sensors for baseball, softball, and golf, and with Pixellot, which handles video production and distribution. Those deals should help enhance SportsEngine’s suite of services offered to youth sports programs nationwide.
Blast Motion‘s movement capture technology includes an array of training, analysis, and coaching tools, and can be seamlessly integrated with existing programs implemented by SportsEngine users. Blast Motion’s golf technology is already the official technology partner of the NBC-owned Golf Academy. Users of the bat and golf club sensors are able to visualize the motion analysis on automated video clips that will be viewable within SportsEngine-powered apps used by many youth teams.
