Technology News: GameChanger Launches Athlete Profiles

GameChanger has launched its newest feature, Athlete Profiles, with a customizable bio and easy access to highlight clips.

Based out New York City, GameChanger is a technology company whose mobile app and website provide scorekeeping, stats, video streaming, and recap stories to teams and connected fans at the local level. The platform supports features for sports including softball, baseball, basketball, volleyball, soccer, football, and lacrosse.

Over 24 million games have been scored on GameChanger since it was founded nearly 13 years ago, corresponding to over 500,000 active scoring teams across multiple sports in all age groups.

Integration of The Athlete Profile… How Does It Work?

When teams score and stream on GameChanger, the software automatically creates clips of each player and saves the video to their clip library. Premium members can access their full library of videos for review and add their best clips to their Athlete Profile.

Then, when an athlete shares their profile with a coach or family member, that person can see all their highlight clips on any computer or smartphone, even without a GameChanger account.

“We’re obsessed with making every athlete feel like a pro,” said GameChanger Product Manager, Abe Suraiya. “From getting recruited to a dream school to keeping a proud grandma updated, Athlete Profiles allow every athlete to put their best foot forward and show the world what they’re made of.”

Athletes across the softball community are already taking advantage of the feature. Check out a few of these Athlete Profiles using this technology (click on the player name/link to access):

The benefit to prospective recruits is it makes the process easier to get recent on-field action highlights in front of recruiters and coaches.

“GameChanger is removing barriers to recruiting by allowing coaches to view the profile without having to log in,” Suraiya adds. “With a few simple taps, athletes can update their profile with clips, from any team they played on, to ensure coaches are seeing the best, most recent, footage.”
