Indefinite Hiatus.

Issue Two Hundred and Two

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.
