Description: Sports Analytics : A Guide for Coaches, Managers, and Other Decision Makers, Hardcover by Alamar, Benjamin, ISBN 0231205201, ISBN-13 9780231205207, Brand New, Free shipping in the US ""Just as companies have been competing with analytics to enhance profitability, sports teams have been using analytics to gain a competitive advantage on the field of play. The tools of sports analytics are evolving quickly and the use of analytics in sports is now commonplace. Still, due to the constant evolution of technology and techniques, decision makers at sports organizations are often unsure of what is possible, how to begin, how to evaluate an analytics program, and how to continue to drive value from their investment in analytics. Strategic planning and a comprehensive understanding of sports analytics will assist teams in maximizing their investment in their analytic functions, and thus the competitive advantage gained from the program. Sports analytics is a comprehensive field that includes data management, analytic models, and information systems, and the skill set of analytic decision makers often requires understanding of cognitive bias and the impact it can have on decision making. This book takes a comprehensive view of sports analytics and provides teams with an overview of the current state of the use of analytics in pro sports, concrete examples of how analytics has helped teams win, and a roadmap to begin building their own analytics program and gaining more value from their existing program. The second edition will include three new chapters (one on the evolution of the field, one on predictive analytics concepts, one on new tools and methods on the horizon), a revamp of three existing chapters, and updated examples throughout.""--
