Your Health Club Needs to Utilize the Power of Video

If a picture was worth a thousand words, then how many words is a video worth? Today video is more important than ever for clubs looking to optimize lead generation. That doesn’t mean independent health club owners should forget their blogs, Twitter accounts and other content marketing avenues we’ve discussed in the past. But, they do need to know that the correct content, used in the correct way, is truly king.

Blog: 9 Social Media Dos and Don'ts for Student-Athletes

Tracking Technology Revolutionizes Athlete Training

"Imagine driving a Formula One vehicle and not having a dashboard to know how that engine is performing," says Gary McCoy, applied sports scientist for Catapult USA, whose Australian-based parent company markets the athlete monitoring system that has gained unparalleled traction this year in American professional and collegiate sports. "It's the same with athletes. If you don't have the information readily available, it's very difficult to know what on-field performance truly looks like. And that's really what we provide through our technology - a dashboard that provides insight into athlete performance."

OSU, WVU, LSU in Damage Control as Expose Released

As journalistic bombshells go, Tuesday's release of the first in a five-part Sports Illustrated expose into past improprieties in the Oklahoma State University football program was widely regarded as a dud. That said, both Oklahoma State and West Virginia, the school at which one of the implicated former OSU coaches now works, were in full damage control as of Monday. OSU athletic director Mike Holder addressed the media, stating, "I apologize to all of the athletic directors in the [Big 12] conference for what's about to happen, what's about to be said about a member institution. That reflects on everyone, all of our brothers and peers." Holder, who has been in Stillwater since 1966 as a student or university employee (he became AD in 2005), went on to say, "I really feel like that at 65 years of age, everything that I've done until now has prepared me for this moment in time, so I just hope to make everybody proud at the end of this process." (He later said that his apology should not be taken as an admission of wrongdoing by OSU athletics.) A proces is under way at WVU, as well. A university source told The Charleston Gazette that an in-house investigation into the accusations against Mountaineers assistant coach Joe DeForest, who SI sources claim paid players performance bonuses while at OSU during a period spanning 2001 to 2007, will be done "quickly, but thoroughly" and will focus solely on his tenure at WVU.
