Any type of organization in the sports world -- teams, leagues, and businesses -- needs to be strong in the face of change and adversity. The past few years have taught us how harnessing the power of data is a business imperative and differentiator. With 79 zettabytes of data produced in 2021, lack of data is not an excuse.
