Here, at Kitman Labs we set ourselves apart from companies that talk about pushing the industry forward by walking the talk and putting innovation at the core of how we do things.
But innovation needs to be grounded in meaning, and so we are investing in our team and a groundbreaking research program to support teams build high performing organizations on and off the field.
We want research to be in the fabric of what we do every day.
About the Initiative
The Performance Intelligence Research Initiative is a research, education, and community engagement program designed to produce new evidence-based insights about on-field and off-field success. It also aims to accelerate the adoption of gold standard practices discovered through the research via interactive learning vehicles and engaging forums.
The goal of the research is to produce evidence-based best practices that will advance the fields of sports performance science, coaching, talent development and identification, and leadership.
The initiative will explore topics such as:
- Leadership, culture and alignment
- Integrated communication, collaboration and decision making
- Performance-led planning
- Short and long term development strategies
- Data-led decision-making
- Continuous improvement and innovation
- Data collection and data quality
- Cross-departmental athletic development
- Economics of player performance
- Multi-disciplinary athlete care and development
- Youth development and progression
