Clinton Shrout
(aka Clubhouse guy)
I've worked the sideline, the broadcast truck, and the product team. The job I keep ending up in is the one in the middle — turning what the data says into something a coach or an executive can actually act on.
That's meant a lot of different titles: video and recruiting coordinator, sports data analyst, content strategist, product manager. Football, baseball, soccer, across more states than I planned on. The constant has been data — play-by-play breakdowns, fan engagement dashboards, metrics that tie marketing to product — and making it legible to the people who have to use it.
Lately that includes building the tools myself: predictive simulations, automated reporting, whatever gets to the answer faster.

my work is Translation
Coaches don't think in dashboards and engineers don't think in down-and-distance. Somebody has to sit between them and make each side useful to the other. That's where I've spent most of my career, and it's the part I'm best at.
It started on the field — video and recruiting coordinator, cutting highlight reels so athletes got seen. It turned into data pipelines for breaking down game film, then into streaming operations for live events, then into product. Different tools, same problem every time.

Work Experience
I’ve had the opportunity to work at the forefront of sports media and technology with industry leaders like Fox Sports Broadcasting, Amazon Prime Video Live Sports, and Stats Perform. At Fox, I supported live broadcasts with a focus on precision and timing. At Amazon, I helped manage large-scale streaming operations for Thursday Night Football, ensuring a seamless viewing experience for millions. And at Stats Perform, I contributed to data-driven tools that supported team performance and scouting — blending real-time insights with long-term strategy.
Spare Time Projects
I’m the type of person who doesn’t stop building when the workday ends. Whether it’s a computer vision tool to analyze bubble hockey goals or an MLB Analysis Dashboard to simulate full games pitch by pitch, I love using my skills to create tools that blend data, sports, and storytelling. These projects keep me sharp, fuel my curiosity, and often help me uncover new ideas I later bring into my professional work. Every spare-time build is another chance to explore the “what ifs” of sports technology.
Personal Life
Off the clock, I’m still a team guy. I volunteer as a youth soccer coach, ski with my kids in the winter, and try not to miss a game when my favorite teams are playing. Whether on the field or on the slopes, I value shared experiences, growth, and a little bit of fun competition. Sports have shaped who I am — as a father, a coach, and a human. That same clubhouse-guy spirit follows me into everything I do: bring energy, show up for the team, and make the experience better for everyone around me.
