Why Focus on Sports Industry..?? Vast amount of data collected over time for Players, Teams, Club.
Very less Preprocessing required.
Maintain Competitive environment.

A Few Success Stories of Data Mining in Sports Billy Beane’s Oakland Athletics (A’s) – nearly defeats New york Yankees in 2001 –using “Sabermetrics”
Boston Red sox Wining two World Champions(2004 and 2007) after a 86 year gap.

Computer Associates (Brightstor, CleverPath and eTrust software) developed an analysis software.
Supervised Classification method- Neural Networks is used to predict the Injuries.
Unisys system - gathers physical and mental player state with help of AMD Hardware.
Information is fed into an analysis software developed by CA and analyzed using PAS(Predictive analysis Server).<br>
