Sports Analytics

In February of 2015 I had the privilege of attending the Sloan Sports Analytics Conference hosted by M.I.T. in Boston, MA.  There is a significant opportunity at hand; sports teams are quite literally hiring mathematicians off of the streets to help them run/organize an analytics department.

From that conference, I created a curriculum aimed at middle- and high-school math students to help engage them in the world of Sports Analytics.  Many students love sports, and engaging them in mathematics in this way is just too good an opportunity to pass up.
