Devon SportsLab Shares Science Behind The Sports On The Porch

Sports are a huge passion in everyday life for millions of people across the nation, but the science behind the sports are never really looked at.

Devon SportsLab, a scientific sports platform, is committed to sharing how sports function and perform from an educational perspective.

Kyle Chung, the Director of Engage Learning at Devon SportsLab, sat down with the News 9 team on the Coca-Cola Southwest Beverages Porch to explain the scientific factors that are apart of the sports that we love.

"[Devon SportsLab] is a program where we actually teach students, ages eight to fifteen, all about the science behind the sports. If their in football, basketball, softball, all of the different types of sports; we're teaching them everything they need to know about sports and science," Chung said.

The lab offers classes and programs for students to come and learn about the science behind the sports, giving them the opportunity to not only learn more about the game itself, but to expand their knowledge on how the sports are directly effected by science.

"We really want to focus in on the idea that science is for everyone and it's everywhere. Whether your a student that loves the science behind everything, or an athlete trying to hone in on your skills, science can be applicable just improving," Chung said.

Devon SportsLab is hosting an event on Saturday, July 27 for young soccer and football players to learn more about their favorite sports, using a scientific approach.

The event will be held at the Everest Training Center on OU's campus and will begin at 9 a.m. and last throughout the afternoon.
