I get questions all the time about data. A lot of coaches have it but don’t know what it means and don’t know ‘what’s good?’.

Get yourself some good stats – this is the first hurdle and the reason I designed StatGeek, but there are a lot of good programs out there. I’m obviously biased but whether you have a few […]
Recently we made some changes to our website. We added a LOT of stats. Now you’re probably thinking, you’re called StatGeek, I would expect a lot of stats. But really up until this summer, we’ve focused on creating tools to make coaches’ lives easier. But earlier this year, women’s basketball legend Sue Bird wrote about […]
This weekend the NCAA Division III Women’s Championship Semi-finals will take place and in a cool twist, the winners get some time off before playing for the title on April 4th in Indianapolis where the Division I and II championships will also take place.
