A big topic right now is traumatic brain injuries in sports, and so being able to really understand what happens in various sports—not just football, but in all sports, in terms of what causes traumatic brain injuries—is key. I have some personal interest, because I have kids and they participate in a variety of sports. David Epstein: For me, I was a national-level middle-distance runner and went on to become a science grad student.
I transitioned into sports science writing after one of my training partners dropped dead after a race. I got really curious about how that could happen to someone who otherwise seemed to be a picture of health. It was that experience, as well as another experience in sports in high school that led to me writing about genetics in sports.
I grew up with a lot of Jamaican guys, and we had this great high school track team. At the age of 16, I looked up Jamaica in an atlas and realized there are two-and-a-half million from that island—I started to wonder what was going on there. As I moved up to running longer distances in college, I was running against Kenyan guys, getting to know them, and realizing they were all from the same town, basically — from this big minority tribe in Kenya.
I started to want to look into some of those questions. Sports are a vehicle for many, many people—you have a very wide audience, and so when you get these emerging technologies in sports, then you see them adopted very rapidly.
The idea that now we can actually record from a first-person perspective what it is like to be a world-class, professional athlete on the field, and then experience that through either seeing it on TV or other media. With Google Glass, how do you see that technology changing the landscape of football—and other sports—in the future? Chris Kluwe: I think it will initially shift the viewing perspective. From there, it leads to people becoming more comfortable with the idea of things like augmented reality and virtual reality, which leads into that being adopted more and more into everyday life.
In the sporting world, that means augmented reality being adopted into the actual sports themselves. Or something that highlights the receiver, or warns you if a guy is coming off your blind spot, for instance tackling against quarterback. No one even thinks of not having a cell phone, but there was a point when cell phones were big briefcase, clunky things that only executives on Wall Street had.
Cynthia Bir: I would have to say some of the motion-capture techniques that are out there. They no longer require markers or instrumentation to be placed on the athlete—you can just use the camera.
Some people are using Kinect systems, and some people are using a little more high-tech systems. We have a lot of biometric type feedback stuff available to us now as well in terms of just being able to monitor heart rate, respiratory rate, and things of that nature during the actual event. One is individualized training. Some countries that are starting to put this into effect.
Denmark and the Netherlands are doing things like muscle biopsies, and moving athletes around sports based on that. Or if the athletes are plateauing in training, you can tailor training to their specific physiology to get better effects.
The other thing I wanted to mention: occlusion testing, where you block certain parts of perceptual information digitally or virtually. You can use that to understand what they should be exposed to the most, what kind of practice scenarios are not wasting time, essentially. This is why softball pitchers can always strike out major-league baseball hitters.
And it might even be connected to some of the virtual reality stuff that Chris is talking about. That would be a great way to use it on the field. Innovation turned out to be step by step some portion of our life, so it is typical that expert sports likewise begun to adventure its conceivable outcomes.

In 50 years, we can see every league and division having its own channel which means a sad farewell to scuffles between networks like the BBC and ITV for the broadcasting rights to Premier League matches.
Another big change will be the authority of social media, which will replace the traditional, sit-down press conference after a game and will introduce live, post-match Tweeting direct from players to fans. The big news about sports in 50 years is that snooker might not be there to see it. Greed for big-money deals means that any sport like snooker and darts without huge team sponsorships, heavily endorsed stars, and prime-time viewing slots are pushed aside to make extra room for more emotional games, animated players and photo-opportunistic moments that are prime meme fodder and offer the greatest money-making chances.
The future of sports brings with it more meticulous analysis, aided by instant replay, video feedback and masses of statistics presented in seconds. Boxing and kickboxing, for example, will receive instantaneous information about key parts of the sport, such as impact and strength, which will be analysed by coaches and medics to dictate if a fight should end or how the boxer should end it. Delving deeper into the world of virtualism, skipping 50 years into the world of sport might give us completely transformed games, like virtual driving in Formula One.
Perhaps this could be a way of keeping alive the due-to-be-departed sports like snooker and darts, too. Sports gear of the future, will offer more for your money.
Why have one sponsor when you can have several? Shirts to come will be made from a materials that enable multiple endorsement logos and ads to show throughout a game, which will go far to keep up with the demand. Team members will be fitted with earpieces so that the coach can speak directly to them at all times, rather than hollering from the sidelines, which should lead to a more tactical game for the viewer to enjoy.
With the ever-growing focus on health and safety, sports in 50 years will likely strap its athletes up with respiratory and heart rate gauges during games to ensure that players are monitored throughout, rather than just once the game finishes.
