    [feedback]Technology changes the way we do business, in many ways for the better. Should technolo-

    gy be allowed to influence the way we participate in sports? As players? Fans? Coaches?

    Technology already has made an improvement to sport - most-

    ly or the eer n modern day sport the game is aster hard-

    er somemes longer and oasts eer eipment or players

    All sports have this in common The core rles are the same as

    they ere eore my me The players are dierent erhaps the

    eson shold e is there enogh technology or sport or

    shold there e more?

    - Lucy C.

    Asoltely! When sed properly technology can enhance the

    an experience and give oth players and coaches a hge edgeon their compeon Technology has helped expand the reach

    o sports analycs and ill conne to do so

    - Steve F.

    No e shold not allo technology in sports as yo ill never

    get a perect system ports alays raises contenos isses

    hich creates deate alternavely e ill have a sitaon

    here yo ill e stopping a floing game and looking at video

    evidence hich althogh yo may get a eer rao o eer

    decisions t i ill e totally oring When officials get it

    rong it is not delierate they jst have to make decisions im-mediately t honestly The prolem that has occrred is de to

    large sms o money that is no associated ith sport in gen-

    eral and e have lost sight o the act that sport is compeve

    t played in a good spirit and to e enjoyed When e lame

    officials o making a ad decisions e place the lame pon

    them yet players actally playing sport make mistakes t are

    exonerated ith contless excses or their mistakes or errors

    - Cliff. S

    Yo only have to atch Thierry Henrys 2009 Hand o Gal

    here he handled tice to keep the all in play in the ild-p

    to the goal that cheated reland ot o a World Cp place The

    reeree arn Hansson only had to ask the linesman or Henry

    himsel t he did not Bring in the technology to stop the

    cheang say

    - Cie .

    We mst not orget that technology has several acets and is

    not only linked to the field itsel There are several technology

    related prodcts and services that hen properly sed can give

    ans either at home or at the arena stadim a mch eer

    experience Technology in sports can improve secrity comort

    ser experience involvement etc say the more technology the

    - Mak P.

    Yor choice o ording leads one to elieve there is a choice to

    allo technology to inflence the experience Technology is ho

    e gather inormaon commnicate ith others and relive or

    lives archived inormaon accessile at yor fingerps Tothink that there are instons that shold e exempt rom

    - Jeff L.

    Coaches they reire technology hen measring an athlete's

    perormance as it help them recognize areas o strength and

    eakness in order to improve the athletes Good example here

    a coach needs technology is in Cricket

    SOFTWARE THAT IS

    GOOD FOR YOUR

    HEALTHSERVICES

    The Advanced Fitness Designs Team imagines,

    develops and markets innovative web applica-

    tions and related services in two sectors: 1)

    physical education and health and 2) elite and

    professional sports.

    The FitStats Web systems are designed tostreamline fitness assessment and reporting forlarge groups or implement physical activitytracking and monitoring programs. The Athlete-Monitoring.com platform is designed for profes-

    sional sport coaches and trainers looking for anefficient way to quantify training, manage fit-ness testing, track injuries and individualizetraining in a team-sport context.

    CUSTOMIZATION

    Advanced Fitness Designs products are de-

    signed and used by professionals. As each pro-

    fessional has developed a unique expertise in

    his/her field, a fit-for-all solution doesnt work

    for them. The AFD Team recognized this earlyon, and created a system in which all applica-

    tions are entirely customizable by the user. The

    AFD systems offer preset standard features,

    that can be changed at any time in order to

    meet the specific customer requirements. We

    have engineers capable of designing and devel-

    oping pretty much anything. says Franois

    Gazzano CEO of Advanced Fitness Designs.

    We routinely add and enhance features follow-

    ing customers feedback or comments and are

    always pleased to adapt or develop systems

    that make the life of professionals much easi-

    er.

    THE DIFFERENCE

    Athletes like to be treated well and always ap-appreciate when a coach listens to them andtakes their subjective feelings into accountwhen making training decisions. says Gazza-no. Our AthleteMonitoring system is doing justthat. It helps coaches to systematically and au-tomatically collect subjective feedback, alongwith more conventional objective markers oftraining volume and intensity. Our systems arehelping coaches to systematize the monitoringof athletes subjectivity, fatigue and recoverylevels which, in turn, leads to better coachingdecisions and healthier athletes. We alwayswork hand-in-hand with our clients throughoutproduct design, development and improvement.In return, we are receiving a lot of praise for theflexibility of our systems, their inventivenessand the level of service we offer. I think theseimportant elements, and those that differentiateus from our competitors.

    There are some major differences between us and the other providers. First of all, we have continued to evolve and improve our

    ervices. Last year alone, we released over 90 new features and enhancements. We listen to our customers and we continue to stay

    head of the curve with new technologies. Many of the other providers have not reinvested in their product and kept pace with

    hanging technology and the needs of sports groups.

    econdly, Blue Sombrero was founded with the mission of giving back to the sports community and helping clubs run more efficiently

    o that they can spend more of their time and energy inspiring kids to love the game rather than be buried in paperwork! We consid-

    r our customers our partners. We work hard to provide the best service and software to help them grow and provide the best sports

    xperience to their members. We dont hide anything from our customers. ALL of our features are listed on our website, complete

    with descriptions, screen shots and videos. Our pricing is also available to the public on our website. There are no hidden fees, no

    ontracts and no surprises!

    astly, our customer service is unmatched in our industry. We stand behind our software 100%. We understand that we provide mis-

    ion critical software for our customers and we back that with an unrelenting commitment to excellent service. Every customer gets a

    dedicated account manager that serves as their single point of contact for all of their Blue Sombrero software needs. Our customers

    get to know their account manager by name, and we are available via phone or email.

    SombreroPAY lets coaches and team

    The Club Store is a great feature!

    Blue Sombrero partners with Eurosport, the world's largest

    soccer retailer, to provide all registered soccer clubs with a

    fully integrated store into each club website.

    Parents and players can browse and purchase Eurosports

    complete inventory of over 55,000 products directly from

    their clubs web site!

    Every purchase made will earn 5 percent back for their club.

    Best of all, parents NEVER leave the club's website to com-

    plete their purchases.

    The Account screen contains all the player's info, from con-

    tact info to order history, and can be updated and edited at

    any time.

    In addition, team assignments, rosters and schedules are

    easily accessed.

    Finally, parents and players can sign up for new events di-

    rectly from the My Account screen.
