Ben Alamar - Behind the Data Curtain: Insights for Coaches and Decision Makers

Ben Alamar became Director of Sports Analytics for ESPN a decade ago after the publication of his pioneering book, "Sports Analytics: A Guide for Coaches, Managers, and Other Decision Makers" in 2013.  Since then, Ben has built and managed analytics teams at StubHub and the Cleveland Cavaliers, and is currently working as a data science manager for Apple.
