Description
When Michael Lewis published Moneyball chronicling the competitive advantages and data driven approach to player evaluation instituted by the Oakland A’s in the early 2000’s, he didn’t just change baseball, the entire sports landscape was forever altered. Today, modern front offices in the MLB, NFL, WNBA, NBA, NHL, NWSL, MLS, and EPL leverage these principles to scout and develop their players. In this course students will learn the frameworks and strategies deployed by General Managers to build championship caliber rosters and head coaches to foster talent. While other offerings in the MSA program will elucidate the financial planning and accounting principles necessary and critical to support the business side, this class will identify best practices to use in drafts, managing salaries, and negotiations. As the sports operations side of the industry becomes ever more competitive, a foundational understanding in these philosophies is paramount for those who seek to raise trophies and win rings as members of a professional sports organization.
