Hello, world!

Information Systems are all around us and play huge roles in our lives today, especially in the worlds of sport and fitness, don’t believe us? Let’s take a look…

Have you ever worn a fitbit or apple watch? If you answered yes, then you have been exposed to one of the largest growing areas of Information Systems Technology! Have you ever played sports for a club or followed a professional sports team? If you answered yes, then you have exposed yourself to areas where technology and Information Systems are of utmost importance! Have you ever placed a bet on your favourite team (Scotland) to win the RBS six nations? If yes, then once again you have utilized Information Systems and hopefully won big off the back of them! If you failed to answer yes to all of the above questions, look no further. Behind this blog is a team of six students/sport enthusiasts…

1x TCD men’s tennis captain

1x Really good football player

1x Guy who always wears a Rowing Ireland jumper

1x TCD hockey player … she finally joined the socials

1x Wannabe Roscommon LGFA player

1x Tall New Zealander with a dodgy ankle … rip the rugby career

Despite what you may think after reading about our team’s credentials, sport and fitness have always played a huge role in all of our lives; even more so during this pandemic. So, we plan to use this platform over the coming weeks to delve into all things information systems, sport and fitness related. Hopefully by the end of it we will have convinced you (if you aren’t already) of their huge importance and prevalence in the modern world of sport and fitness today!
