With professional sports teams and athletes placing greater emphasis on technology and data in their quest for success and victory, there’s never been a better time to study sports analytics.
This extremely flexible, fully online course will teach you to collect, analyse and interpret sporting data generated from a range of systems. You will evaluate it using cutting-edge performance technology, transmit interventions, and communicate your findings via visual, textual and verbal channels to a number of different audiences.
Delivered by academics currently active in Australia’s high-performance sports environment, you will gain contemporary, evidence-based training which will ultimately allow you to assist coaching staff to develop tactics and appropriate training loads while achieving individual and team performance goals.
At the completion of your course, you will be a confident user of the data and video analysis technology needed to interpret sporting performances and will have developed firm ideas about how to produce a winning team. You can apply for International Society of Performance Analysis of Sport (ISPAS) accreditation and will be officially ready to become a champion in the field of sports analytics.
