VALUE BOMBS

  1. Davidson college “Cat Stats” group explodes to over 70 Students doing sports analytics for sports teams. Just one example at the college level on the growth of sports analytics.
  2. Boil analytics data down to a few key things to give to players. Keep it simple. Don’t want players overthinking in games.
  3. One thing Swarthmore Basketball has done very well that contributes to their success is translating opponent analytics data for use by the scout team in practices to prepare for opponents. Very important at Division 3 level where practice time is very limited.
  4. Available time and resources (money and people) are biggest challenges for using and leveraging analytics at the lower levels; college and high school.
  5. When starting out in pursuit of career in sports analytics find a program or place where you can add value. Volunteer to gain experience and start building your network.
