Ten Major Questions Facing Sports Analysts paints a picture of the "current state of sports" in a non-academic manner. The book lists the major problems facing sports analytics. For each problem, the book clearly defines the question, outlines current research and methods, explains research issues, and offers some prediction on what is needed and/or required to solve the problem. The book highlights new techniques and methodology needed by researchers. It also explains the value and meaning of new types of data that are either available or soon to be available.
