Computer Science in Sports

From coaching decisions to fantasy sports, analytics is behind it all

Combining sports, fitness, and computer science is a slam dunk. If you’ve ever tracked scores, maintained player records, or enjoyed real-time play with visual additions like the yellow 1st down line, you might want to consider this industry. Computer science is enhancing the sports experience for players, coaches, and viewers!

Make Real World Connections

Hear from people who use their programming skills and knowledge to advance the field of Sports and how the industry is changing today.

The world of coaching is full of opportunities for software to come and change the game. What I love about coaching is that the human component really is not replaceable — that the ideal way software can contribute is to make the coaches more effective and more efficient.
