Sports Analytics
Sorting statistics, crunching numbers and modeling data to tell a story about athletic performance.
Sports analytics at Centre does not require an interest in sports. It does take an interest in analyzing data to identify trends and inefficiencies to make better informed decisions.
Jeff Heath, professor of mathematics and data science, as well the chair of the data science program along with Prayat Poudel, associate professor of mathematics, lead a team of students to help coaches and players at Centre find ways to gain an advantage. Currently their main focus is on baseball, basketball, football, soccer, track and field, and volleyball.
