Welcome
Sometimes you just know.
Know when it’s time to start.
Know when it’s time to stop.
It’s time.
I started Unexpected Points Added over four years ago as a way to showcase my interest in sports analytics. In addition to filling a vacancy for curating and highlighting great work from others, I also had a desire to signal to future employers that I’m serious about sports analytics.
I took my shot, graduated with my Master’s of Applied Data Science from the University of Michigan, and strategically pursued numerous opportunities in the sports betting and sports analytics space.
Was a runner-up a few times, and was flat-out ignored more times than is humanly respectable.
I continued to publish, even after giving up hope and doubting myself.
Then it happened.
Stumbled upon and landed my dream job — a Data Scientist at a golf company.
Now, the drive to continue publishing has stalled, and I’ll be taking an indefinite break from Unexpected Points Added.
I have ideas on how I could add excitement back, but time will tell if it’s meant to be.
Until then, thanks for your time.
