How MTSU Women’s Basketball Automated Shot Tracking in Practice to Strengthen In-Game Shot Selection
The mantra “practice how you play” is echoed in locker rooms around the world.

The question is no longer if teams will face ACL injuries, but how they will manage rehabilitation and return-to-play (RTP) without rushing athletes back into harm’s way. The most effective programs now pair clinical rehab with performance tracking technology to pace progression, reduce re-injury risk, and restore game-ready performance.
