XPS is making significant strides in Japan, particularly in the world of Handball, with our recent multi-year partnership with the Japan Handball Association (JHA). This collaboration marks a pivotal moment as we support the nation’s top leagues and national teams, while an increasing number of clubs, universities and players embrace the platform to support their training & analysis processes.
Sideline Sports representatives in Japan, T-Function state; “In Japan, we are expanding our reach within the handball community, and the growth has been remarkable. The adoption by prominent teams is expected to further broaden our user base, establishing XPS as a vital resource.”
Voices from the Court
Yoshinori Kato, Head Coach of the Meiji University Men’s Handball Team, emphasizes the multi-functionality of XPS: “The insights gained from video analysis are essential for both players and the team. XPS is user-friendly, allowing for seamless sharing of information within the team, making it an indispensable tool for our success.”
At Daido Steel Phenix TOKAI Handball Team, Coach Makoto Suematsu shares, “The convenience of accessing the video I need at any time is invaluable. Strengthening the team would be quite challenging without XPS.” Analyst Yuta Yoshimura adds, “The unlimited document capacity is incredibly appealing. I can quickly edit and share footage, ensuring that everyone has the information they need.”
Kisa Ando, Head Coach of Kosei Girls’ High School Handball Team, shares their ambitious goal: “Our team is striving to be number one in Japan. XPS helps us analyze our opponents while providing crucial insights into our own performance. Since we started using the analyzer, our work time has significantly reduced, leading to more efficient meetings and focused training sessions.”
Looking Ahead
“Sideline Sports’ partnership with the Japan Handball Association (JHA) not only enhances our presence in the handball community but also paves the way for expanding support to other sports, universities, and high schools across Japan. T-Function continue to educate coaches and organizations on the benefits of utilizing XPS, and it’s fantastic to see this growth extending into new markets.” – Jack Scott, Asia-Pacific Sales Director
