Abstract
The chapter examines the digital innovations used in high-performance sport and how sports, teams, and athletes benefit from these advancements. The links between digital technologies and the world of managing high-performance sport are clarified and the chapter presents examples of modern equipment and technology being applied in multiple high-performance athlete service areas. As every innovation brings about change, the advantages and risks of digital innovations in high-performance sport are discussed. Australia's efforts to address its digital maturity is used as a case study to showcase how investment in sport technologies represents a priority within this chapter. To conclude, the need to examine the capacity of countries to invest in sport technologies, as well as the ethical dilemmas that these technologies represent in sport are discussed.
