ACCORDINGLY, THERE ARE THREE FEATURES OF
SPORTS ANALYTICS SOLUTIONS:

• Metrics (Sabermetrics,strike rate in cricket, run-pass balance in football, rally count


in badminton, etc.)
• Technology (wearable technology, virtual reality, motion tracking, big data, etc.)

team managers, player fitness dashboards for coaches, etc.)
IMPORTANT PARAMETERS THAT DEFINE A
