1. A performance sensing system, comprising:
an electronic module configured to provide data relating to at least one physical or physiological parameter associated with a performance;
a housing member configured to mount the electronic module thereto and to provide power to the electronic module when mounted thereto;
an electronic module securement system configured to releasably secure the electronic module to the housing member; and
a housing member securement system configured to releasably secure the housing member to a wearable article,
wherein the electronic module securement system includes a plurality of spring-loaded elements extending around at least a portion of a perimeter of an opening in the housing member, and wherein the opening is configured to receive the electronic module, and
wherein the electronic module securement system includes a plurality of recesses extending around at least a portion of a perimeter of the electronic module, and wherein each of the plurality of recesses is configured to receive a respective spring-loaded element that extends therein under a spring biasing force when the electronic module is mounted to the housing member.
