I think we will see sports organizations continue to enhance personalized and more immersive fan experiences. Communicating with fans at the right time, with the right content, through the channels they use most. And this will happen before, during and after the events. #saschat

Q6: As sports businesses adopt retail best practices, what #customerintelligence tactics do you expect to see? #SASchat #SportsAnalytics

[Dan Axman @daxman27]

@JMP_software @F1 @FDataAnalysis I would love to learn more about this use case!

[Dan Axman @daxman27]

Great point @BelfiBB about watching events that you might normally miss. It creates that additional engagement and "stickiness" and exposes fan's to several more teams and athletes that they may have not been fully engaged in. #saschat

[FPL Green Grass @BelfiBB]

A4: As an active #FPL (Fantasy Premier League) ‘manager’ myself, I’m even more engaged into football now than ever before. I follow the live scores to see if 'my' players scored points, and I might watch live games of low ranked teams, if it features any of my players. #saschat

[Dan Axman @daxman27]

In short, "off the pitch" refers to the use of data by #sports organizations to analyze the biz side of the data (e.g. fan engagement, ticket sales, etc.) "On the pitch" is specific to player and team performance, injury prevention and creating competitive advantages. #saschat

Q3: What are the main differences between on- and off-pitch #analytics? What are your favorite examples? #SASchat #SportsAnalytics

[Dan Axman @daxman27]

@ChristerBodell Agreed. And to @luca_spinelli's point the technology has been implemented to create such an immersive experience. Including AR, VR, etc.

[Dan Axman @daxman27]

It's sometimes tough for us to “see”, but the use of analytics has certainly impacted player performance and team optimization and we’re seeing a higher level of competition in many sports. And in some cases, athletes and teams “upsetting” the more dominant opponent. #saschat

Q2: How do you think #analytics has contributed to this excitement? #SASchat #SportsAnalytics

[Dan Axman @daxman27]

And then there’s “other” type of excitement generated (depending on who you are a fan of), like in the Chicago Bears decision to go for a 4th, and 1 and ended up losing to the Denver Broncos because of it. In this case part analytics, part gut call by the coach. #saschat

[SAS Forums @sasforums]

Great discussion today #SASchat team! What final thoughts would each of you like to share before we close up this chat on #SASBattingLab ?

[Dan Axman @daxman27]

A.6 - I think any sport can benefit from a data approach but would love to see soccer/football, golf, and cricket. #SASChat #SASBattingLab

[SAS Forums @sasforums]

Q6: Fun question: What other sports could benefit from a data approach and become a 'Lab'?#SASchat #SASBattingLab

[Dan Axman @daxman27]

A.5 Retail. I see a SAS Lemonade stand data literacy effort in the future :) Inventory, Price Optimization, Supply/Demand, and predictive analytics rolled into one! #SASChat #SASBattingLab

[SAS Forums @sasforums]

Q5: What areas other than sports could be leveraged to spark excitement and increase children's data literacy? #SASchat #SASBattingLab

[Dan Axman @daxman27]

A.5 Robots! If you remember SAS / SAS CodeSnaps ran a program to teach young students about coding, product and project management skills to kids. It shows another example of how kids engage when they are interested in something. #SASChat

[Dan Axman @daxman27]

A. 4 I loved the concept (for obvious reasons). Although this effort has an attachment to sports, I truly believe it shows that when kids are fully engaged and interested in the topic/theme, they will have the greatest chance for retention, learning, and success. #SASChat

[SAS Forums @sasforums]

Q4: The Batting Lab by SAS is one such initiative. What do you think of the concept, and can this be the right approach to increase data literacy in children? #SASchat #SASBattingLab

[Dan Axman @daxman27]

A.3 - I've seen great success in the sports industry when the leagues (e.g. NFL, MLB, etc) engage learners of all ages to innovate. (e.g. NFL's Big Data Bowl). #SASChat #SASBattingLab

[SAS Forums @sasforums]

Q3: Which initiatives do you know that are specifically designed to increase data literacy? #SASchat #SASBattingLab

[Dan Axman @daxman27]

A.2 Equity gaps across K-12. Lack of STEM programming in some schools. #SASChat #SASBattingLab

[SAS Forums @sasforums]

Q2: What are some key challenges you see in increasing data literacy among children? #SASchat #SASBattingLab
