Turn stats in stories, and stories into a content business. Early acess is open now!
Each week, we take some measure of sports data and try and pull a story out of it, whether it's about the Drive Score, Team Balance Index, World Football trends, or a breakdown of why MMA is so hard to forecast.
And a lot of you have asked how to do this yourselves. So, tonight we're opening early access to a course that answers that question (and more)!
Data Storytelling for Sports shows you how to turn stats into sports stories and in turn how to turn those stories into a content business of your own.
What's inside the course?
- Module 1: Overview of Data Storytelling for Sports. The building blocks of a data-driven story.
- Module 2: Designing a Data Story. Go from a big question to the data, the analysis, the visuals, and the storyline.
- Module 3: Creating a Content Business from Scratch. Build an audience and turn your work into revenue.
- Bonus: Introduction to Sports Analytics. Five extra modules to strengthen your analytical foundation.
The course is built for content creators, journalists and analysts. You don't need a stats degree or programming skills. And you pay once, and we'll keep this course updated with fresh content, resources and real-world projects. And everything is designed so you can apply it right away to your own sports storytelling business.
Why a soft launch?
We're opening the doors to this community first to drive founding members for the course. Early students will get early access to the course and have a chance to shape what we add next with your feedback.
An Introduction to Data Storytelling for Sports
This is a practical, hands-on course built around one idea: data only matters when it helps someone understand what happened, why it happened, and what might happen next. You'll learn a repeatable process for finding a question worth answering, gathering and analyzing the data behind it, and shaping what you find into a narrative people want to read, watch, and share. Then we go a step further than most analytics courses. We show you how to build an audience around your work and earn a living from it.
If you've ever looked at a stat line and thought there's a story in here, this course is for you.
See you inside,
