Digitally Optimizing the Information Flows Necessary to Manage Professional Athletes: A Case Study in Rugby Union.

ABSTRACT: Practical case studies elaborating end-to-end attempts to improve the quality of information flows associated with athlete management processes are scarce in the current sport literature. Therefore, guided by a Business Process Management (BPM) approach, the current study presents the outcomes from a case study to optimize the quality of strength and conditioning (S&C) information flow in the performance department of a professional rugby union club.
