| Title of Talk | Sports Analytics: Soccer -- An Honors Seminar Utilizing Cutting-Edge Technology for Course-Based Student Research |
| Abstract | In 2020, the speakers received a Moore Family Foundation grant to purchase 20 Catapult-brand GPS/accelerometer devices for use in student research. Subsequently, the speakers designed an honors seminar entitled Sports Analytics: Soccer to enable enrolled students to have a research experience with this new technology, studying aspects of “physical load” on the Central College women’s soccer team. This presentation will describe the structure of the course, the successes and challenges of the course, and what the future holds for this type of sports analytics undergraduate research at Central College. |
