Today we launched Maturity Monitor v1 - available now on iOS. Now you can easily & accessibly estimate maturity in young athletes. Visit the Apple Store now, but whilst you’re at it gives us 15-mins of your time to tell us how to make it better! yorksj.eu.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_eu…

Still processing the depth of conversations this week at Leaders. It was a privilege to share space with some of the sharpest minds in sport, people asking not just what AI is, but what it means for the future of our industry. What’s clear is this: we are incredibly early. There’s curiosity, hesitation, and a hunger to understand. That’s where the work begins. My role and purpose is becoming clearer: to help shape, translate, and support the shift that’s coming. Not with theory, but with action. We need to meet it with open minds, courage, and a willingness to rethink everything we thought we knew. This moment matters. #AI #SportsLeadership #FutureOfSport #GenerativeAI #Leaders2025

@DeasunO @scotland_team @scotrugbycoach With rugby’s increased physical demands compared to other sports and the variation in positional profiles, it’ll be exciting to see how enhanced knowledge drives innovation in youth development. Plenty to go after - look forward to catching up later this year to pick your brain!

@DeasunO @scotland_team @scotrugbycoach Thanks pal - still early stages of the project but hopefully already making a positive impact for players & adding valuable insights for support staff. Great to learn from roadmaps in other sports - appreciate you graciously sharing insights and helping steer thinking 1/2
