摘要：
The explosion of data, with large datasets that are available for analysis, has affected virtually every aspect of our lives. The sports industry has not been immune to these developments. In this article, we provide examples of three types of data-driven analyses that have been performed in the domain of sport: (a) field-level analysis focused on the behavior of athletes, coaches, and referees; (b) analysis of management and policymakers’ decisions; and (c) analysis of the literature that uses sports data to address various questions in the fields of economics and psychology. © 2018, Springer International Publishing AG, part of Springer Nature.
