Meet the Irishman behind a sports data company powering the world's best leagues | Stephen Smith on Off The Ball Breakfast
Description
Stephen Smith has taken an interesting road to reach the forefront of data and analytics in some of the world's biggest sporting competitions.
Working as a Senior Injury Rehabilitation and Conditioning Coach with Leinster Rugby under Michael Cheika and then Joe Schmidt, he left the Irish province in 2012 to establish Kitman Labs, a company helping elite sports teams and leagues optimize performance and health through data.
From the Premier League to the NFL, the company's astonishing success has ensured its fingerprints have been left all over the sporting landscape.
Stephen joined Ger Gilroy in the Off The Ball studio to discuss the company's work, and how it may be of benefit to Irish football in the years ahead.
