Inside the inaugural Global Sport Innovation Exchange 🇬🇧

Three days before Sunday’s win at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, the Colts and Sports Tech HQ brought team execs, league leaders, brands, investors and founders from both sides of the Atlantic to the Colts FanZone in London.

An hour before tipoff at the NBA Finals, referee Scott Foster warms up his eyes with a VR headset đź‘€

The routine comes from Dr. Joseph LaPlaca, a Carmel, Indiana based high performance vision clinic founded by Dr. Joe LaPlaca, and featured front and center on ESPN today.

NBA refs. Pro goalies. IndyCar pit crews. Dr. Joe trains their eyes and brains like muscles, and some of his first believers are teams from his own backyard in Indiana: the Indy Fuel, Indy Ignite, and Chip Ganassi Racing.

Congrats, Dr. Joe and team! Proud to have you building the future of sports as part of the Sports Tech HQ Collective.
