Ep. 5 “Getting Smarter Off Field” with Dave Anderson former NFL wide receiver

<p>Guest: Dave Anderson, Former NFL Wide Receiver</p> <p>Team Affiliations: Houston Texans, Washington Commanders</p> <p>Hosts: Matilda Sung, Chris Minor</p> <p>Part inspirational, part data geeking, today's conversation with former NFL wide receiver Dave Anderson will not only invigorate any aspiring athlete/business person towards their goals but also get their brain juices flowing as we discuss data science in sports and the evolution of media today.</p> <p>Dave talks with Chris about his upbringing and to the NFL. He shares the rejection he faced with not having the traditional physique of a wide receiver. But what is most exciting in this story is how Dave intelligently navigated the system on field to allow him to have a 6 year run with the Texans.</p> <p>While always having been a numbers fan at heart, Dave made the decision to pursue a football career instead. It didn't take long after he left the field to pursue his other passion and strength...when he founded Breakaway Data - a performance science platform focused on aggregating, processing, making meaning, and presenting all the data associated with an athlete. Dave also had the honorable goal of making sure the athlete would ultimately get possession of his/her data such that they can use and monetize it as fit.</p> <p>All around an engaging episode that will both inspire listeners and get them up to speed on the latest thinking in sports data and analytics.</p>
