EXOS has teamed with a variety of tech companies in recent years — baseball sensor company Blast Motion and data and tech giant Intel, to name a pair. BridgeAthletic has seen rapid adoption of its platform since its 2011 founding by pro sports teams in every league and college programs in each of the Power 5 conferences.
“This new partnership helps us continue our mission to upgrade lives and provide coaches, trainers, and athletes with the tools and resources they need to improve performance,” Mark Verstegen, EXOS founder and president, said in a statement. “Not only will EXOS coaches be able to better scale their reach, but individual athletes and industry practitioners will also be able to use the platform to access EXOS methodology.”
