Improving Team Performance via Digital Technology Adoption

Abstract

In an era characterized by rapid advancements in digital technology, its integration across various industries to enhance user experiences and streamline operations has become ubiquitous. Notably, athletes are also reaping the benefits of digital technologies that monitor and amplify their performances. This paper delves into the domain of the National Basketball Association (NBA), a trailblazer in leveraging digital tools to refine player skills and team efficacy. Focusing on the Golden State Warriors (GSW), the study scrutinizes their adoption of cutting-edge digital technologies, such as Sports VU, Catapult, and Dashboard, for player development. While GSW’s progressive initiatives have yielded favorable outcomes, the essay advocates for the incorporation of additional tools like 3D Athlete Tracking to glean insightful statistics and ShotTracker to enhance shooting precision. This analysis underscores the potent potential of digital technology in honing athlete capabilities and fostering overall team success.
