dependent on data be it about the company's
performance, or a customer's behavior pattern,
but data-driven decision-making is at the
forefront. Such a decision-making process is
thought to be very logical and has a proven
record of resulting in more successful results as
well. It is thus only logical even in the sports
industry the powerhouse of data would put this
process to test.

The industry has even pioneered performance
analytics which has been prevalent in the
industry since the 1970s and went global when
Moneyball was published by Michael Lewis. The
book was centered around the statistical analysis
of baseball records and how it was used for
decision-making with in creating dependence of
data in sport. Decisions about the player were
made based on the data-driven insights and
resulted in success for the team. Sports
analytics as a market is worth almost around 4
billion now and professional sports teams invest
huge amounts of money to meticulously analyze
every aspect affecting player performance

Even National Football League has been tracking
individual player performance and taking
advantage of sports analytics and data to make
decisions and has been successful in their
approach in the past few seasons. NFL first
pinned small sensors in players shoulder pads,
then created a rich database but tracking their
performance during the game throughout the
season. Then all the data were made available to
the clubs as well to drive competition. Now even
the competitors has access to the player
performance and can evaluate strengths and
weaknesses and make strategies according to that.

Wimbledon on the other hand took advantage of
video footage as well and has been consistently
been tracking individual tennis players for years
now. The same data is used by coaches and helps
them better guide the players. IBM Wimbledon
client executive Sam Seddon once commented that
We have over 150 staff on the premises and we
capture over 3.2 million data points throughout
the course of the Championships,.The data is
collected from the courtside from speed, serve
location, and rally count all of that is inputted
in.

A similar type of observation is made in
Basketball and F1 as well. In basketball 3D
trackers are deployed to track shots and give
insights into shooting accuracy and patterns.
Coaches use trackers to keep a tab on the players
and their accuracy on the court. Sports analytics
use in F1 has made the car even more intelligent.
With hundreds of sensors to measure a number of
things in the car, the lap time, the G-force,
engine, and tyre and brake temperatures all this
data is used to drive decisions and help the
teams devise a pitting strategy

The data is also usedlive football data feed to
develop the car further for the next race. F1 has
multiple such applications of data analytics and
in the future would be more reliant on cloud
computing, predictive analytics and intelligence,
ML, and prescriptive intelligence.

players but sports organizations have not
