Long before Moneyball popularized the idea, stats and data were part of sports. But things have come a long way since then. Join Scott Nestler for an overview of the transformative role of analytics in modern sports. He'll explores how data-driven approaches are revolutionizing performance on the field, enabling athletes and teams to optimize their strategies, enhance physical conditioning, and achieve superior results. Beyond the field, he'll discuss the impact of analytics on the business side of sports, from talent scouting and player valuation to fan engagement and revenue generation.

By integrating real-world examples and cutting-edge research, this presentation highlights the symbiotic relationship between analytics and sports, illustrating how data is not just reshaping strategies but also redefining the very essence of excellence in the sports industry.

This week, Kyle interviews Scott Nestler on the topic of Data Ethics. Today, no ubiquitous, formal ethical protocol exists for data science, although some have been proposed. One example is the INFORMS Ethics Guidelines. Guidelines like this are rather informal compared to other professions, like the Hippocratic Oath. Yet not every profession requires such a formal commitment. In this episode, Scott shares his perspective on a variety of ethical questions specific to data and analytics.
