Valencia Basket’s Strength Coordinator, Ruben Portes, expressed his excitement over the integration of KT360, stating; “The KT360 will allow us as an organization to take a step forward in player development, as it will help us to increase the involvement in their own training and rehab process. For us coaching is teaching and the use of the KT360 will bring clarity in our communication with the players regarding the goals that we set together in order to improve their performance.”

By embracing tools like the KT360, Valencia is setting a new benchmark in Europe for how data can be used to enhance both the well-being and performance of players.
