On September 14, I was fortunate enough to have the opportunity to present at the RIT Sports Analytics Conference. The project was the culmination of over six months of work, and a year of working with Michael Lopez, the director of analytics for the NFL and my mentor through the Hockey Graphs Mentorship Program.
I wanted to write an article summarizing my presentation, as well as discussing improvements I plan on making. Additionally, I plan on diving deeper into the Detroit areas of the data for this site.
When I assembled my presentation for the conference, one of my main goals was to make it accessible to anyone, regardless of your background in analytics.
