The High School Outreach Program is a two-part initiative designed to engage high school athletes and students with hands-on experience in data-driven performance analysis and introduce them to the educational and career opportunities in sports analytics, data science, and engineering.
Visit 1: Field Session – Practice
• Program Introduction
We will begin with an overview of the outreach program, discussing its objectives and the benefits of data-driven decision-making in sports.
• Athlete Survey
Each athlete will complete a brief survey to capture baseline information and gain insight into their current perspectives and goals.
• Warm-Up and Instruction
Athletes will participate in a normal warm-up routine, followed by specific drills led by our team to provide context for performance analysis.
• Biomechanical Analysis
We will conduct a hands-on biomechanical analysis, capturing data from athletes in real time to examine movements and assess performance.
Visit 2: Classroom Session
• The Role of Data in Sports
A presentation on how data is transforming the sports industry, providing examples of how professional teams use analytics to enhance decision-making, training, and overall performance.
• Team Data Review
We will present an analysis of the team’s performance data gathered during the practice session, offering insights and discussing key findings.
• Performance Improvement Recommendations
Based on the analysis, we will suggest specific changes that athletes can make to improve their performance, demonstrating the practical applications of data in their training.
• Education and Career Pathways
A discussion on educational paths and career options in data science, biomechanics, engineering, and sports analytics, outlining the opportunities and skillsets needed for success in these fields.
• Individual Guidance
At the close of the session, we invite any students interested in further guidance to stay for one-on-one discussions with our team, allowing for personalized advice and exploration of their unique goals.
Additional Analysis
Depending on the school’s interest and our program availability, we may schedule additional visits to provide ongoing support and further analysis. These follow-up sessions can deepen athletes’ understanding of performance metrics and provide updated recommendations based on new data that can drive further performance improvements.
