点球成金课程

course description

Sponsored by the Wharton Sports Analytics and Business Initiative (WSABI), the Moneyball Academy primes students to become leaders in an increasingly data-driven economy.

 

Taught by Professor Adi Wyner who graduated from Yale University, the Moneyball core curriculum goes beyond what students will learn in an AP Statistics class in order to teach students how to apply advanced statistical concepts to sports analytics. In addition, students will learn to read and write code in R, the advanced statistical programming language used by professional statisticians. By the end of the program, students will be able to understand and perform many of the sports analyses typically seen in FiveThirtyEight, Fangraphs, or Hardball Times articles.

 

Furthermore, Moneyball offers the opportunity to learn from and network with other analytically minded people, which can prove extremely valuable as students continue in the sports business industry. They will also hear from guest speakers with real-world experience in sports analytics. Past speakers include Samuel Mondry-Cohen, Assistant General Manager, Washington Nationals; Diana Ma, Data Scientist, Los Angeles Lakers; and Alec Halaby, Vice President of Football Operations and Strategy, Philadelphia Eagles; among others.

 

This program is ideal for students with a strong background in math and a love of sports and programming.
