Ellyse Perry returns to Pymble Ladies’ College
SMG Technologies (SMG) ambassador Ellyse Perry recently went back to her former school, Pymble Ladies’ College to help launch and introduce Baseline to students. Baseline is the first product worldwide to offer schools the ability to coordinate and measure performance and wellness of student teams by tapping into the technology engine used by elite professionals and large international colleges.
Ellyse and one of SMG’s experts in High Performance and Sports Science, Naomi Wallis, talked to the school about the benefits they’ll see from using Baseline through an interactive workshop with thirty girls from the schools Elite Sportswomen’s Program.
We are witnessing a unique state of convergence of technology particularly in wearable technology which is no longer limited to just fitness bands. Tying in with the recent launch of Baseline; Ellyse talked about the factors that can affect sport performance at school from a first-hand experience and related it back to her time at Pymble Ladies’ College.
Baseline is the first product worldwide to offer schools the ability to coordinate and measure performance and wellness of student teams by tapping into the technology engine used by elite professionals and large international colleges. Using its heritage in high performance analytics with SportsMed Elite, and understanding the pressure on grassroots teams to deliver results, SMG has designed Baseline to help maximise visibility around patterns of student performance, with the ultimate goal of keeping them performing at their optimum. It also allows staff and students to tackle the demands of team management, whilst providing a predictive model to protect students from potential injury.
Where Baseline comes into its own for school sport is in the communication between staff and students across multiple codes. This allows either party to highlight injuries or patterns, whilst allowing staff to coordinate player identification. With greater clarity and a more holistic picture, staff are able to make more educated decisions, ultimately resulting in more positive sporting results and better-managed budgets.
Ellyse Perry, SMG’s Baseline team and Pymble Ladies’ College conducted two-hour workshop which included a circuit session to talk through the benefits of using a product like Baseline to help students perform at their optimum and provide team coaches with superior team sports and lifestyle intelligence. Thanks Ellyse for being involved in such an interactive workshop — it was a great way for Baseline to be introduced to Pymble Ladies’ College.
