SCOREBOARD MATH

My name is Bennett, I am a high school junior at IMG Academy, a sports school in Bradenton, Florida. I spend at least four hours a day playing sports. Sports and math have always been my favorite subjects in school, and it didn’t take me long to realize how closely the two are connected. To this end, in my sophomore year, I completed a research project with Dr James Albert, a sports statistician. We researched how the use of advanced statistics in baseball have affected the sport, and how players like myself use these analytics to improve our strategy, in-game performance, and develop as athletes. I’d now like to put these skills into practice helping younger students.
