Sports Geek: A visual tour of sporting myths, debate and data

Autor Rob Minto
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 19 oct 2016
Sport revolves around two things: narrative and numbers. You need the narrative, otherwise why would anyone care about sport? Rivalries, emotions, and sporting legends all require it. But sport also needs numbers. Without them, we have no idea who has won. We need numbers to tell which team is top of the table, or who is the world champion.Sports Geek is a visual and numerical tour through sporting debates and ideas. Teams in all sports use data to create extraordinary analysis of how their players perform, to assess tactics and to get an edge over arch rivals; but fans are rarely presented with challenging and informative data that would help them to further understand sport. You'll never see sport the same way again.

Perfect toilet book
Have you ever wondered why the quality of snooker is so much better now than it was in its Eighties heyday? Or who is, statistically, the greatest ever pound-for-pound boxer? Of course you have. This compilation of sport stats and data has all the answers and much, much more
Good fun
This revealing read raises a lot of key points to consider in the world of sport.
For an alternative explanation of the special appeal of sport try Sports Geek by Rob Minto which in words, statistics and pictures explains what it is about sport that will provoke endless arguments in the coming year
