The Xtra Edge: A KINEXON Sports Analytics Podcast
Welcome to the podcast where the real stories behind athletic performance take center stage. Here, coaches, sports scientists, and data-driven thinkers share the moments that shaped their work—the wins, the setbacks, and the breakthroughs that don’t always make headlines. Each episode dives into how performance decisions get made, what the data really says, and the human side of pushing athletes to be their best. It’s not just about the science—it’s about the stories that bring it to life.
