Build, use, and assess models for 5 major sports: Football, Basketball, Baseball, Soccer, Tennis Review: Great for all knowledge levels! - While this book was required for one of my graduate courses, I have since re-read it on my own. There's nothing more refreshing than a clearly-written, informative book that doesn't make you feel dumb (no pretentious language and foreign concepts) or brilliant (no babying concepts down.) Segmented by concepts (variables, physiological, psychological, and statistics) followed by five major fields of sport, this book lays out the basic information you'll need and flows into the more complicated topics without being abrupt or confusing. As much as I wanted to seek the input of multiple reliable sources for my written work, I found a good amount of supportive information that I would need right here in this one book. It is incredibly difficult to write concisely, often times more difficult than meeting a lengthy requirement, but Dr. Martin has accomplished the task. I was knowledgable in a few sports, a complete novice in some (talking about you basketball), and had never applied analytics to any of them before - but I am confident enough, with this guide in hand, to tackle greater research in the sports analytics field. Review: Awful - After reading it I felt like I wanted my money back. 40% of the book explains different sports basic rules, 15% is code and graphs, 40% is a sports term glossary and the rest is actual analysis. This book is not worth $50. I feel cheated and wish I could get my money back.

I used this for my sports performance analytics course in Northwestern University. The author, Dr. Lorena Martin, does a great job of laying out concepts and ideas necessary to understand the types of statistical analyses done in different kinds of sports. The book starts out with anatomy and physiology, physical/biological measures required of athletes, psychological measures, and statistical models. Then, it delves into different kinds of sports explaining rules and regulations, athlete requirements/skills (physical, psychological, and cognitive), R coding, and graphs. I am a huge fan of statistics but not so much into sports. This book changed the way I saw sports and athletes. Now, when watching NFL games, soccer matches, etc., I am more in-tune with athletic prowess required, the beauty of the game, and measureable data that can be gathered and analyzed. Published in 2016, I appreciate the up-to-date information on peer-reviewed studies and statistical software/programming. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/28062299-sports-performance-measurement-and-analytics-the-science-of-assessing-performance](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/28062299-sports-performance-measurement-and-analytics-the-science-of-assessing-performance) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-06-09*
