You’ll prepare detailed reports and recommendations to support coaches, players, and management in making informed decisions.

Sports Analysts play a key role in optimising athletic performance. You’ll need to be detail-oriented with strong analytical skills and a deep understanding of sports. Effective communication is crucial for presenting complex data in an understandable manner to stakeholders.
