As sport science moves rapidly into the future, new technologies continue to change what we can measure, process, and understand. This edition of The Film Room looks backward to move forward, exploring how familiar problems persist beneath new tools, why novelty should not be confused with progress, and how the future of performance data will depend on integrating what we have learned with what is now possible.

As sport science becomes increasingly data-driven, collecting and analyzing information is only part of the challenge. This edition of The Film Room explores how we translate data into practice through the lens of epistēmē, technē, and phronēsis—moving from what we know, to how we put that knowledge into practice, to the judgment required to decide what we should actually do.

As sport science becomes increasingly data-driven, every measurement, model, and prediction comes with assumptions. This edition of The Film Room explores the assumptions hidden within data collection, processing, injury epidemiology, and prediction—while arguing that the goal isn’t to eliminate assumptions, but to understand them and let their limitations shape our confidence in the decisions we make.
