Everyone forgets about the scouting process as well and that is a very important part in the sports world as well. If you could have a blockchain to have all players as an address for example, you could create one for each player in any sport and you could have the biggest sport scouting network in the entire world. Blockchain world is so big that you can literally have just one blockchain for ALL sports and that would allow teams to scout players however they want and search for it
If I'm not mistaken, someone has already done something to that tune
Someone named Michael Schwimer, a former baseball pitcher, who designed a blockchain-based solution to invest in young and aspiring prospects when they are still relatively unknown outside their circle so that everyone could get a portion of their future earnings once they hit it rich. I don't know how he's doing now and whether his plan took off at all
couldnt find the project that youre referring here. but that kind of blockchain based project should be one that get funded from sports industry. seems that particular project didnt prosper. but the aim is great.
if only some sport organisation will realise its significance to the younger generation
but blockchain and sports industry is really a good match if explored properly. like for example, in the sports ticketing industry, blockchain will create transparency and will reduce pre-sale and re-selling problems, like overpricing. maybe blockchain tech can really solve some of the long running problems in sports industry but it would take a strong platform to make a change and really pursue their mission. because some projects are good at the start but most of them cant sustain its activity
