Liikunta ja huippu-urheilu kulkevat käsi kädessä ja digitalisaatio lisää niiden vaikuttavuutta
Olympiakomitean uudistetussa strategiassa uutena elementtinä on runsaasti keskustelua herättänyt kolmas tukijalka huippu-urheilun ja seurojen toiminnan tukemisen lisäksi: liikkeen ja liikunnallisen elämäntavan edistäminen. Digitalisaatio tuo aivan uudenlaista lisäarvoa myös liikunnalle ja urheilulle. Lajiliitoissa ja seuroissa onkin jo herätty tiedolla johtamiseen, jonka avulla voidaan esimerkiksi kohdentaa urheilijoiden tavoitteellista kehittämistä juuri oikeille osa-alueille, parantaa seurahallinnon läpinäkyvyyttä, tai seurata pitkällä aikavälillä liikunnan yhteiskunnallista vaikuttavuutta.
