“The Canadian Sport Institute Calgary Sport Product Testing group has the unique opportunity to interact with some of Canada's top athletes and coaches. My experience as a User Testing participant was valuable on a couple levels. As a recently retired athlete I am still quite in touch with the latest in sport science, and the product I tested had to satisfy the standards I have developed over many years of training to be the best in my sport. As a national team coach, I am very interested in how wearable devices can be effectively utilized by my athletes during daily training. I really like the way Pro and John outlined their expectations for the product testing and their understanding of sport and technology made it easy for me to convey my experiences while using the product.”

“I have participated in research projects with the Canadian Sport Institute Calgary’s Sport Product Testing group. John and Pro conduct their studies with true professionalism and also make this unique testing environment fun and relaxed. I’m a very inquisitive person by nature, and I was impressed with their depth of knowledge when answering my many questions. I wouldn’t hesitate to participate in another study.”
