Sports statistics is a field of quantitative analysis that uses data to evaluate the performance of players, teams, and understand the dynamics of games. From simple numbers like points scored or goals scored to advanced metrics like "Expected Goals" (xG) in soccer or "Plus/Minus" in hockey and basketball, statistics provide a detailed picture of every sporting event.
Statistics are essential for:
- Player evaluation: Helps identify strengths and weaknesses, make transfer decisions, and negotiate contracts.
- Game strategy: Coaches use statistical data to prepare tactics, analyze opponents, and make decisions during the game.
- Media and fans: Journalists and commentators use them to provide context and enhance the viewer experience, and fans use them in fantasy sports and sports betting.
The development of technology, including video analysis and wearable devices, has transformed sports statistics from a simple hobby into a complex field, known as "sports analytics", which influences every aspect of the sports industry.
