In Street Clothes

Covering sports injuries from the perspective of a certified athletic trainer and backed by analytics.

Predictive Analytics Applications

InStreetClothes.com gets various request for data sets and information. While the injury database is not publicly available, the data presented on the site has been utilized to bolster media stories, compare injury rates, and numerous other applications. Recently, Mason Ginsberg, a writer for BourbonStreetShots.com, used the data in an interesting way.

As part of a presentation on Predictive Analytics in Business, Ginsberg examined the injury rates and dollars lost for NBA teams that utilize GPS tracking monitors by Catapult Sports and plotted them against those that do not use Catapult.

The findings were a small part of the overall presentation but still a fascinating look into how preventive care can help teams in professional sports.
