Why I am Committed to Spectrum 8
“Kent Baker and I have been friends for 50 years, starting when we met as high school freshmen classmates and teammates with a shared love of sports. Kent moved back to Michigan around the time of my retirement and called me asking if I could give him some advice on some of the statistical aspects of a project he’d been working on. As we met over the next few months, sharing ideas about event setup and analysis, it didn’t take long for me to appreciate just how innovative and inclusive his color-coded approach really is, and how it can inspire and challenge kids as they develop their physical skills – while having fun! Since those early meetings, Kent has assembled an extremely talented team working hard to make the Spectrum 8 Sports system a reality, and I’m honored to be a part of it.”

"I think Spectrum 8 is a product of individuals that have a great interest in fitness, human performance , technology and innovation. These individual complement each other and Paul has been a perfect complement to me both personally and professionally has we continue to develop the concept of Spectrum8 Sports.
