#GothamGadgets #SportyPeachy #Basketball #JoeGibbs Noah Basketball and the Joe Gibbs Human Performance Institute Partner to Unlock the Power of Big Data and Biomechanics

The partnership will now provide a direct link to biomechanics data and shot-tracking analytics to provide players with a comprehensive understanding of their shot performance

Noah Basketball’s industry-leading shot tracking technology has now been installed in the Joe Gibbs Human Performance Institute’s new research lab in Huntersville, North Carolina. The lab has been outfitted to a basketball gym with over 40 high speed motion capture cameras and over 80 tri-axial force plates in the floor, making it the first-of-its kind facility. The new facility will allow athletes the opportunity to take basketball shots in a normal gym environment, while compiling the necessary data to build accurate, comprehensive models for understanding what drives the perfect shot.

The combination of the Joe Gibbs Human Performance Institute’s deep understanding of kinematic and kinetic data acquisition with Noah Basketball’s shot tracking technology expertise will answer the questions that every basketball player, coach, and NBA front office executive has wanted to know for decades. Why are some players great shooters, and why do some players struggle to make shots? All the basketball shooting answers will soon come to light. This marks the first pairing of fully automated motion capture with Noah’s proprietary high-definition shooting metrics allowing for near real-time analysis of a player’s shooting mechanics.

“We’re excited to continue to revolutionize basketball and sports technology with this partnership,” said John Carter, Noah Basketball CEO. “Together, Noah Basketball and the Joe Gibbs Human Performance Institute will be able to answer the long awaited questions of what joint angles and movement mechanics are the most optimal for making shots. And conversely, what are the mechanics that lead to poor shooting. It’s a complex performance optimization problem that we are excited to solve."

“By pairing the Joe Gibbs Human Performance Institute’s technology with Noah Basketball’s, we are unlocking the power of big data and analytics for every basketball player,” said Matt Osborn, the Joe Gibbs Human Performance Institute Laboratory Director. “Together, we are excited to offer a comprehensive understanding of what mechanics lead to better shooting and how a player can develop to make more shots. We look forward to applying what we have learned in NASCAR and other sports regarding movement mechanics and applying it to basketball. We are proud to be on the cutting edge of sports science and performance optimization through this partnership.”

The Noah Shooting System, installed in NBA practice facilities across the country, tracks all shots taken in the practice gyms, measuring key shooting metrics such as shot arc, left/right position and depth. The system also provides instant verbal feedback to help players develop muscle memory for the optimal shot path. With sensors mounted above the hoop, the Noah Shooting System captures the position of the ball 30 times per second and analyzes the flight path, allowing players to pinpoint where they are missing. Data is shared through Noah Basketball’s user-friendly cloud-based platform, Noahlytics, where it can be filtered by shot length, shot type, player name, court placement, makes and misses, etc.

"As you know from my past features, Peachy Deegan and I were in the same class at Boston College prior to either of us becoming entrepreneurs. When we played together on the BC Alumni softball team in Central Park years ago, she mentioned she could not find a great dentist in Manhattan and could often be found networking on her phone in the outfield hiding from the ball. She was my second patient ever in 2006 when I opened my dental practice; I was one of the first sponsors on Whom You Know and the first Mover and Shaker featured in 2009 and have worked with her continuously since. She's even talked her friends that are doctors into being my patients, and they subsequently send their hospital colleagues. I don't know anyone that is as great of a networker and writer as Peachy, nevermind that she is upstanding and always good for her word. Cosmopolitan Dental is so happy to be in the company of the caliber of major brands she works with today, and although she will tell you a million ways to get your teeth dirty between Peachy's Picks, Terrific Takeout and Peachy's Pantry, Peachy Deegan will tell you there is only one way to get your teeth clean!"
