TSL #013: How AI is Revolutionizing Sports Business Operations

The AI genie is out of the Gatorade bottle, and it's rapidly changing the game for sports business operators.

This is something to celebrate, not fear because AI is going to help you leverage your ultimate superpower:

Being human.

As an operator, your role will shift to that of an orchestra conductor, with AI serving as your trusty band of instruments to help you hit all the right notes in your business.

With AI in your corner, you'll be able to manage your business more efficiently and increase profits without needing a significant headcount.

The best part? You'll have the freedom to leave the cockpit of your business and mingle with your in-flight customers, engaging in real conversations that will give your AI partner new prompts to work with.

You can use this feedback to improve your sports services and facility experience, making your customers happier and more satisfied than ever.

AI is unlike anything we've seen before, and it's accelerating the intersection of art, culture, and sports with thrilling new mashups on the horizon.

For example, AI will allow anyone to create Hollywood-like films about athletes' careers based on their statistical performance, photos, and videos within five years.

Imagine a sports business owner winning the Oscar for Best Documentary.

But the real win is for customers. By leveraging AI to manage the more mundane aspects of your business, you can focus on using your human superpower to create rather than operate.

The future of sports businesses will be about art (humans), not just science (AI).

As a sports consultant, I'm fired up to see how AI is flipping the game. The value I can provide now is helping my clients tap into their inner artists and use AI tools to create truly magical experiences for their customers.

The possibilities are endless, and soon every sports business will have its own ESPN highlight capabilities and PIXAR Hollywood studio at its AI fingertips.

So, let's embrace the AI genie and all the innovation it brings.

It will fully break down the barrier between recreational sports and professional athletics, and that's something we can all cheer about.
