Whilst AI has already started to assist coaches in athletes’ performance, this trend is expected to extend to athletes themselves this year. Companies at the forefront of this movement include Athlete's AI, providing athletes with the ability to live stream or upload their match or training sessions. AI algorithms will then conduct real-time or post-match analysis, by reviewing techniques, ball speeds, comparing to previous matches or plotting progress over time. This will provide athletes with the analytics needed to identify key areas for improvement, and shows how AI is set to shake up traditional training program's and structures. The use of AI in stadiums and venues will likely gain pace in 2022. Stadium entry, drone cameras and smart ticketing are all aspects currently controlled by AI, but there is huge potential for this to be taken further.
