A Data & Innovation podcast brought to you in collaboration with<\/p>\n

\"sport<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cMy staff is, by far, way more educated, smarter than me. They all have these niches that they\u2019re really good at,\u201d says Brandon McDaniel.<\/h6>\n

\u201cWhen I need to be able to understand something, when I need to be able to communicate something, when I need to be able to have that conversation with our front office or coaching staff, whoever that might be, they\u2019re the ones that I\u2019m going to in order to get that information.\u201d<\/p>\n

McDaniel is the Vice President of Player Performance at the LA Dodgers and the first guest on the People Behind the Tech Podcast<\/em> series, a new collaboration between SBJ Tech and the Leaders Performance Institute.<\/p>\n

During the course of the episode, he also talks to SBJ\u2019s Joe Lemire and Leaders\u2019 John Portch about topics, including:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • The tech he uses in his own life [1:00];<\/li>\n
  • How he seeks to test, trial and implement tech in a team environment [10:00];<\/li>\n
  • Exploiting \u2018windows of opportunity\u2019 in athlete monitoring [16:00];<\/li>\n
  • How analytics departments can play a role in scouting and development [29:00].<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
