Sports analytics is really adopted by many of the reputed clubs and teams. In India also IPL teams are using it and as well as Australian team also shared how they are using sports analytics. I also saw the moneyball movie it is really amazing...

Hi Ken, I am really interested in this field. Specifically, I would like to work for basketball teams and have the moneyball roll. Do you have any suggestions on how to achieve that goal? Thanks

Thanks for watching Donald! I recommend watching this video I made about breaking into the field: kzitem.info/news/bejne/tIJ5m6eGk4V9jGk. Sports in general is very competitive, so you need to do many projects and share them to get recognized. If you're a student, I recommend internships and hackathons if you have access to them.

1. I’m going to college and I’m considering to major in sports analytics, sports business, or sport studies and I wanna know what’s the best 2. I know a bit about sports like basketball and football and combat sports but when it comes to things like baseball i don’t know how it works my question is do I need to know everything about all these sports to get this job or study a major like this or how does it work, what do I need to know abt sports or do I even need to know?

#64: I never had the chance to have time on Fridays or Saturdays for 66 Days of Data, today was my lucky day! I do like the one that gives insights to make decisions or help the athletes to improve performance. In the past was difficult to keep track of how an athlete was responding to the training loads, how was sleeping, how was recovering with all the variables that differ from gender to position in the game (or sport). It's fascinating to see how some products and the Data Science applied have helped organizations, coaches, and athletes to find the invisible reasons for bad performance or injury :) On that, I think that the psychological component it's not being evaluated, which could be a great area to focus too! #66daysofdata

Thanks for subscribing! To answer your questions. 1) Doesn't matter which one you start with. I would personally start with python or excel though because they allow you to start analyzing data right out of the gate 2) Not that I know of, but you could be the first one! 3) It depends, analysts in sports generally make less than analysts in other fields (very high demand for roles in sports). They still make a good living though

I think there is equal opportunity here, however there is still a time and opportunity cost component. In sports you make far less money (about 2/3 what you could make in industry), and you usually have to start near-ish to the bottom. You should still have the same chances to get a job, but your opportunity cost may be far greater. If the money isn't important, I say go for it!

Hey Jason - This is a valid question! They still made it to the playoffs, even with by far the lowest player salary cap in the league. Analytics helped them to compete with teams with abundant superstars even though they had essentially nobodies. There are still intangibles, and analytics can only take you so far though. I hope this clears some things up!

@@KenJee_ds I can understand that and I’m not 100% against analytics in sports I believe it has its places but it’s beginning to take out the emotion in sports at some levels. For instance the shift in baseball has made the game tough to watch, and it takes the gut feeling out of sports as well. However I do believe that it is a great way to develop talent to be more efficient and effective as well as making scouting more accurate.
