While investigating tools that can be used to analyze statistics online I was intrigued by Statistics in Sports (http://community.amstat.org/sis/home). As I started to explore the site I noticed that it is a great resource to help become familiar with working with statistical evidence and trends in sports. This site directs the audience to professional journals and publications as well that further evaluates the research conducted. There is a large following of people who depend on statistical analysis in every facet of their team from on the field performance, to age and experience. There is a need to foster even more development of statistics and its application in sports. This website promotes statistical research and hopes to increase the availability of information concerning the science of statistics and their contribution to sports. Statistics in sports are extremely valuable for coaches when determining patterns for success. They also serve as verification for athletes to understand if they are performing at their desired levels. This analysis gives coaches and players a baseline on if the hard work they are putting in on a daily basis is paying off. It also helps with reinforcing essential fundamentals and player development programs. Obtaining factual data with percentages, graphs, charts, and trends can give coaches and players a much clearer picture of what needs to be worked on in practice. The possibilities are endless in regards to keeping track of stats in basketball and baseball, and the analysis is extremely beneficial to getting better individually and collectively during competition.
