Modern ML Techniques Bayesian / Probabilistic Modeling R or Python + SQL Shiny / Decision Support Tools Player Tracking Data Biomechanical Data Data Engineering / Cloud Model Deployment

Every skill above is highlighted because we train on every single one. Bayesian modeling, production pipelines, tracking data, machine learning, app deployment, version control. Your students don't learn this in a classroom. They learn it by building real tools for your program with professional guidance.

We Know the Problems

Sound Like Your Program?

We've talked to dozens of collegiate athletics programs. These come up every time.

"We have student managers collecting data on paper and putting it in spreadsheets."
We set up real data workflows so your student analysts go from manual entry to structured databases with automated pipelines. They learn skills they'll use in any career.
"Our coaching staff wants dashboards but nobody knows how to build them."
We train your students to build Shiny apps and interactive dashboards that coaching staff will actually use. Shot charts, scouting reports, performance trackers. Deployed and accessible on any device.
"We want an analytics program but don't have the budget for a full-time director."
We act as your fractional analytics lead. Advisory, training, and consulting on a retainer. Your student managers do the work. We guide, mentor, and build capacity semester over semester.
"Students rotate out every year and we lose all institutional knowledge."
Everything lives on our platform. Code, dashboards, models, documentation. When seniors graduate, juniors inherit a working system with real training materials, not a dead Google Drive folder.
"We don't know where to start with predictive modeling or advanced stats."
We start where you are. If your team needs Python basics, we start there. If they're ready for Bayesian player evaluation models, we go there. Every engagement is scoped to your program's current level.
"Our students want to work in pro sports but their resumes are thin."
Every project they build for your program becomes a portfolio piece. Real dashboards, real models, real deployed apps. When they apply to the White Sox or Dodgers, they have proof of work, not just coursework.

What We Deliver

Three Ways We Work With Your Program

Start small or go all-in. Every engagement is scoped to your budget, your sport, and your students' skill level.

01

Student Analyst Training

Structured, instructor-led training for your student managers and analysts. Live sessions on our platform with professional cloud environments per person. We teach them what they'll actually need in a pro front office or any analytics career. Real sports data. Real tools. Real portfolio projects.

Python R / Tidyverse Shiny Dashboards SQL Machine Learning Data Visualization Git Workflows AI / LLM Tools Tracking Data (Hawkeye, Second Spectrum) Biomechanics (Qualysis, Vicon)
02

Embedded Consulting

We work alongside your students on real projects for your teams. Not a slide deck that sits in a folder. We're in the code with them, building dashboards, setting up data pipelines, and deploying tools your coaching staff will actually open on game day. Knowledge transfer happens by building together.

Scouting Dashboards Performance Trackers Data Pipelines Game Prep Tools Recruiting Models AI Prototyping
03

Fractional Analytics Lead

Don't have the budget for a full-time analytics hire? We serve as your program's analytics advisor on retainer. We set the strategic direction, scope projects for student analysts, review their work, and meet with coaching staff to ensure what gets built is what gets used. Your program gets senior-level guidance at a fraction of the cost.

The Process

How an Engagement Works

1

Discovery Call

30 minutes. We learn about your program, your student analysts, your coaching staff's needs, and your goals. No pitch deck. Just a conversation about where you are and where you want to go.

2

Custom Scope

We put together a plan: which training tracks for your students, what projects to build for your coaches, how much consulting and advisory time. Scoped to your sport, your semester, and your budget.

3

Onboard & Kick Off

Cloud environments provisioned for each student. Training cohorts formed. Consulting projects scoped with coaching staff input. We hit the ground running within a week of signing.

4

Deliver & Iterate

Monthly check-ins with athletics leadership. Adjust priorities as the season demands. Training, consulting, and advisory flex with your academic and athletic calendar.

Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Who delivers the training and consulting?
PhD statisticians and data scientists from pro sports front offices, top research universities, and the open-source data science community. Specialists in Bayesian modeling, production Shiny development, data engineering, machine learning, and sports-specific domains like tracking data and biomechanics. Not generalist consultants. People who have built the models, deployed the apps, and published the research.
Our students are beginners. Can they handle this?
We start where your students are. If they've never written a line of code, we begin with Python or R fundamentals. If they're already coding but need to level up to production-quality work, we meet them there. Every engagement is scoped to your program's current skill level.
How does this work with the academic calendar?
We build around your schedule. Training cohorts align with semesters. Consulting projects flex around your sport's season. Advisory check-ins adjust when things get busy. We understand that October looks different for a football program than it does for a baseball program.
Do you also work with professional teams?
Yes. Our team has extensive experience inside pro front offices and we work with professional organizations as well. The training, consulting, and advisory framework is the same. The scope and complexity scale up. If you're a pro team, reach out and we'll scope an engagement for your department.
What about confidentiality?
We sign NDAs before any engagement begins. Training can use your program's data or our sports datasets depending on your preference. Any tools we build for your program stay with your program.
We have an analytics club that wants to help our athletic department. Can you bridge that?
That's one of our favorite setups. We can train the analytics club through our club partnership program and connect their project work directly to your athletic department's needs. The students build real tools, the department gets real value, and everyone has something to put on a resume.
