How can I break into the sports analytics field?
I am currently a college undergrad majoring in math and minoring in applied analytics. If anyone can speak on the classes they took, or how they built connections, that would be greatly appreciated. #Spring25

Hi Hunter,
Although I am not a specialist or into the field of sports analytics, not an athlete :-) , there are some advices I can give you in general on how building connections and maybe you tried them already.
If you are actively doing some sports today - maybe you can check with your coach and see what they have or do in this area.
Building relationships and connections is crucial, so maybe you have friends that do sports and you could maybe join them and ask for a chat with their trainer or coach and ask if they use analytic tools. Nowadays AI is getting more and more importance so check the internet to learn about AI basics as analytics - if it is business analytics, sports analytics it is all about data and how you can use the data and AI can (and maybe already is) a great asset that can help us humans. Not sure if this is helpful, and wish you success in your career!
