Photon Sports Joins a Collaborative Partnership with the German Olympic Centre in Hamburg

Photon Sports has announced an exciting partnership with one of Germany’s leading Olympic training centres, Olympiastützpunkt Hamburg/Schleswig-Holstein. This collaboration marks Photon Sports’ debut at an Olympic centre, granting them new opportunities to collaborate with elite athletes from various sports beyond football.

Photon’s new tech gives us the ability to look beyond split times and figure out how the performance was achieved.

The Hamburg/Schleswig-Holstein Olympic Training Center is the support and service facility for all athletes from Hamburg and Schleswig-Holstein who practise Olympic, Paralympic, and Deaflympic sports at an elite level. They particularly focus on beach volleyball, field hockey, sailing, swimming, rowing, badminton and athletes from various other sports based in and around Hamburg.

Dr. Patrick Fasbender, a sports scientist specialising in biomechanics and data analysis, sees great opportunities in Photon Sports:

“Photon’s new tech gives us the ability to look beyond split times and figure out how the performance was achieved. The easy-to-set-up system provides us with a lot of flexibility in training and performance testing. I am thrilled about the new possibilities our partnership with Photon Sports will bring to the different sports that we support.”

Photon Sports has mainly focused on football since its launch, their tech is applicable to most sports where explosive abilities like speed, agility, acceleration, and deceleration are key.

“We work with clinics, centres, and ‘non-football clubs’ already utilising our technology to test a variety of sports like ice hockey, handball, tennis, track and field, etc. But to partner with an Olympic centre working systematically with top athletes on an international arena like the Olympic Games gives us new opportunities to develop our system further,” says Michael Almebäck, Customer Relations Manager at Photon Sports.

As a proficient Python coder himself, Dr. Patrick has skills in data analysis to derive actionable insights from biomechanical data and implement new analysis tools.

“Patrick’s skills and experience in data analysis are of extra interest to us in our developing process, and we truly look forward to his feedback on our system,” Michael Almebäck says.
