πŸ“ˆ How Champion Data deliver analytics all over the world

Meet the staff behind the data of your favourite sports

Hello friends! πŸ‘‹

Welcome to the SportsGrad Podcast: The ultimate guide to make it in the sports industry!

Each week we share how people made it in sports and tease out their career decisions, work habits, skills, and everything they do that makes them great.

All so you can learn how to get in, get promoted, and get thriving in the sports industry.

Meet Champion Data, the storytellers behind the game…

Something a bit different today - instead of joining you from the studio, we bring you inside the Champion Data HQ in Melbourne, where we went along to meet some of the staff behind the scenes who deliver sports data all over the world.

If you’ve ever dreamed of working in sports and data specifically, then this episode might spark some interest.

Champion Data provides data-driven insights with high-tech speed and precision, and works closely with sporting organisations, clubs, broadcasters, sponsors, and digital media content providers. They’re behind the data for the AFL, Netball Australia, LIV Golf, and the A-League, just to name a few.

This pod is a collection of bite-sized interviews with a number of staff working across data analysis, account management, broadcast design, and much more.

By the end of this ep, you’ll have a pretty good knowledge of just some of the jobs you can do at Champion Data. Make sure you tune in!
