Seeing the Game Differently: A Conversation with Marcus Wagner on How Optical AI Is Changing Sport
Written by Anthony Soriano from iCoach Software.
In professional sport, data has always been power. But the way teams capture, interpret, and act on that data is changing faster than ever, and optical tracking sits firmly at the centre of that transformation.
To explore where the next wave of innovation is heading, I sat down with Marcus Wagner, Founder of FutureEdge Sport. Marcus has led the evolution of data-driven performance at both Collingwood and Melbourne Football Clubs, where he designed systems, projects, and environments that bridged technology, coaching, and strategy. We discussed the rise of AI-powered optical tracking and how it’s redefining performance analysis across the world.
