Sports Geek: A visual tour of sporting myths, debate and data

4.05 (126,107 ratings by Goodreads)

English

By (author): Rob Minto Stephen King

Sports Geek is a visual and numerical tour through sporting debates and ideas. Sport revolves around two things: narrative and numbers. You need the narrative, otherwise why would anyone care about sport? Rivalries, emotions, and sporting legends all require it. But sport also needs numbers. Without them, we have no idea who has won. We need numbers to tell which team is top of the table, or who is the world champion. Teams in all sports use data to create extraordinary analysis of how their players perform, to assess tactics and to get an edge over arch rivals; but fans are rarely presented with challenging and informative data that would help them to further understand sport. You'll never see sport the same way again. See more
