At SkillCorner, we’re transforming the way sports are analyzed and understood. From football (soccer) to basketball and American football, our mission is to empower teams and organizations with advanced, data-driven insights to make smarter decisions and gain a competitive edge.

Using broadcast (TV) video feeds from games, our AI-powered platform analyzes every aspect of play, extracting detailed performance data for every player on the field or court. We take pride in being a global leader at the intersection of AI and sports, helping teams unlock actionable insights to optimize strategies, enhance performance, and shape the future of the game.

Team Description

The prediction team delivers objective and standardized physical performance metrics to assist in profiling, identifying, and benchmarking players, teams, and leagues globally. These metrics encompass physical data such as distance covered in speed zones, peak velocity, and acceleration profiles, as well as in-depth performance insights and context regarding both on-ball and off-ball actions.

The physical data come from a fully automated, consistent, and scalable data collection process using single-camera video, overcoming player visibility limitations. This enables objective measurement of each player’s actions, making it easy to compare and evaluate player capabilities across several leagues.
