This course provides an introduction to the fundamental ideas in applying data analytics to issues surrounding key regulatory and management functions within the sports industry. Sports as an industry is increasingly relying on data analytics for more effective deployment of resources and assessment of performance in areas ranging from player productivity to fan engagement, talent identification and development, coaching, sponsorship, and marketing. This course and its successors will help you understand this new role of data analysis in the sports business.
This module covers the importance of data, what it can provide, and why it is relevant. It also covers the three basic areas in the sports industry where data is fundamentally important: 1.) team management, 2.) agency representation, and 3.) facility operations.
