Talking Points from Rob Cornilles 
on How Fans Can Get Closer to Pro Athletes During the Coronavirus:

In these uncertain times, every industry has been affected by the Coronavirus. In the world of sports, disappointment is seemingly spread evenly among everyone—players and fans alike. With current sporting seasons coming to a complete halt, there is still a way for players and fans to stay connected. The answer is through the use of technology. 

Technology Can help bridge the gap

  • Through technology, imagine being invited into your favorite athlete’s home. How cool would that be?! Most fans never get to see a player in his personal space. They only know them with a uniform on. Players can introduce fans to their families, hobbies, and pets, etc.
  • Through technology, fans can watch a player’s personal workout as they’re getting ready to resume play.
  • Through technology, fans can participate in coach meetings.
  • Through technology, fans can sit in on a meeting with team executives strategizing about marketing, advertising pitches, promotions, and game entertainment.

So during this unprecedented time when games are shutting down, franchises can feature players and coaches via video conferencing and let fans see a unique side of the game. This could be an interesting and fun opportunity for fans to get to be an insider to their favorite sports.
