Case Study: Trinity Meteors leverages SportsVisio for AI Generated Insights

A Club on the Rise

Dublin’s Meteors Basketball Club has long been a force in Irish women’s basketball, boasting a tradition of excellence at all levels of basketball, including the Irish Super League. As a women’s only club, they have a focus on developing top female athletes and competing at the highest level. The club continuously seeks ways to gain an edge, both on and off the court.

The club’s rich history dates back to its founding in 1965, sparked by a national newspaper invitation for women interested in basketball. Under the leadership of first coach Tony Lau, the club was established with a single team and is now the longest running ladies basketball club in Ireland.

By the early 1990s, Meteors was recognized as Club of the Year by both the Dublin Ladies Basketball Board and the Irish Basketball Association, while the National League team secured multiple titles, including the 1992 National Cup. Today, with over 250 players spanning from youth to Masters level, Meteors remains a pillar of women’s basketball in Ireland, committed to excellence and community-driven development.

A partnership between Trinity College Dublin and Meteors Basketball Club was initiated in 2018, leading to the formation of Trinity Meteors and the team has been playing at the highest levels of Irish basketball ever since.

In 2024, Trinity Meteors turned to SportsVisio to bring AI-powered game analytics and automated video insights to their program, ensuring that their players and coaching staff had access to cutting-edge tools to refine strategy and elevate performance.

"With SportsVisio, our coaching staff has been able to break down games in a way that simply wasn’t possible before. Our players can see every stat, every clip, and every key moment. It’s transformed how we prepare, how we reflect, and how we improve.” - Dolores Geaney, Club Chairperson

AI-Powered Insights for Faster, More Effective Coaching

Trinity Meteors coaches faced a common challenge: manual video analysis and stat tracking took up hours of valuable coaching time. Breaking down games, tagging moments, and identifying trends was a time-consuming process that delayed feedback and slowed player development.

With SportsVisio, that process is now expedited, allowing coaches to:

• Track Key Performance Metrics – review shooting efficiency, assist/turnover ratio and defensive impact
• Enhance Player Engagement – Players receive comprehensive video clips of their performance, making feedback more visual and impactful.
• Foster Fan and Sponsor Engagement – With automated highlight reels, Trinity Meteors can easily share top moments on social media with hours of searching for that one moment, increasing visibility for both the team and women’s basketball in Ireland.

“We use the app to have structured conversations, with the players, about specific things that they could be working on. The great thing is being able to drill into the data and then get the actual video clip of the specific situation.  It’s not just recalling a moment from memory.”— Anthony Dodson, Trinity Meteors

Revolutionizing Women’s Basketball

For Trinity Meteors, adopting AI-driven analytics is about more than just winning games; it’s about contributing to setting a new standard for women’s basketball in Ireland. The ability to leverage these insights, reduce coaching workload, and enhance player engagement has fundamentally improved how their Irish Super League team operates.

With SportsVisio, Trinity Meteors are proving that embracing technology, data, and innovation is the key to long-term success in women’s basketball.

"Having access to my highlights and stats after a game is a game-changer. I can see what I did well and where I need to improve—without waiting days. It’s like having a personal coach and video editor in my pocket.” - Morgan Lenahan, Point Guard
