WHAT SPORTS ANALYSTS SAY

From the data to the dugout.

“

I was obsessed with cricket analytics but had no formal training and no portfolio. The Business program gave me a live performance dashboard built on real professional match data, a wagon wheel analysis and a player evaluation model that a franchise data head reviewed on Pitch Day. That changed everything.

I had a statistics degree but no sports context. The analytics module taught me how franchise data teams actually think — not just how to run regression models. I built a defensive efficiency dashboard for football that a real ISL coach reviewed. Nothing in my degree came close to that.
