School Sports Coaching Insights: Evidence‑Based Play to Potential | Sports CTO Talks

From Playground to Potential: How Evidence-Based Coaching and Longitudinal Research Are Redefining School Sports

🎙️ Episode Overview

Meet two voices working at the intersection of sports science, leadership, and grassroots impact: Dr. Vijay Krishnamurthy and Saumil Majmudar.

Dr. Vijay Krishnamurthy is a Sports Research Scholar (Ph.D.) in Sports Management and a Professional Certified Coach (PCC) - ICF, known for bridging high-performance sport thinking with real-world leadership and execution. His work spans research, coaching, and practical frameworks that translate “athlete-style” development into how leaders set goals, build habits, and perform under pressure.

Alongside him is Saumil Majmudar, Co-founder, CEO & Managing Director of Sportz Village, an organization focused on scaling sports education and participation - working with schools, partners, and ecosystems to make sport more accessible and sustainable at the grassroots level. He’s also widely associated with Sportz Village’s long-term mission of getting millions of kids to play, and advocates for inclusive, fun-first sports models that still deliver life skills and long-run performance outcomes.

In this brief intro, we explore how research-backed coaching and system-level sports programming come together: what it takes to develop champions (in sport and in life), how play can be engineered at scale, and why the future of sports development depends on aligning athletes, educators, families, and institutions.

If you care about talent development, youth sports, sports education, or high-performance culture - this one’s for you.
