This book presents sports analytics from a spatial perspective. This means that instead of discussing box scores, the focus is on where things happened. Where did a shot come from? How far and fast did a player run? You will gain experience with Python geospatial tools to store, manipulate, analyze, and visualize the latest in open sports data. This book covers both event-based and tracking data for basketball (NBA), ice hockey (NHL), and football/soccer. The initial chapters introduce you to the Python language on Google’s Colab environment, and then provide you with the fundamental tools to analyze any spatial sports data.
