Evan Anders Magnusson, founder of Valor Vision, joins the Sports Business Leaders Podcast to break down how AI and 3D motion capture are transforming the way athletes train, recover, and stay on the field.As a former UVA rower and computer engineering student, Evan built Valor at the intersection of human performance and cutting-edge technology. Today, the platform turns a simple iPhone video into a full 3D biomechanical analysis, giving strength coaches, physical therapists, and performance staff instant insights into how athletes run, jump, and move.We dive into how Valor is replacing manual video analysis with automated, AI-driven assessments, why movement data is becoming core infrastructure for elite teams, and how organizations like LSU Football, Gonzaga Basketball, Austin FC, and Fulham FC are using the platform to reduce injury risk and optimize performance.This is a conversation about building technology for the highest levels of sport, turning complex biomechanics research into tools coaches actually use every day, and what the future of computer vision and athlete performance looks like.
