I want to transition into sports analytics, especially human performance. I currently work as a data analyst in the DMV area, with a kinesiology degree and Google Data Analytics certifications. What is the best path to enter sports analytics, and where are the best places to find these roles or teams that hire for them?

I work for a school that teaches Sports Marketing. I attended for Business Intelligence and they encourage attaining certifications. Maybe look into Udemy, Coursera, or LinkedIn Learning for additional certifications on data analytics with a focus on sports. Alternately, you might find it helpful to approach local sport teams in your area, offer some freelance or volunteer work, or even look into data available online to build reports and use data storytelling of your own for sporting events/teams/leagues. I hope you find this helpful.

I’ve got about 20 years cross channel experience in marketing, split between big brands and startups, and I’m considering pivoting into a data science/data analyst role. I know it will initially be a step back in comp but is it at all realistic for a person with certificate level experience in data analysis but a decent marketing management background to expect $150-200k comp or is that mostly for degreed candidates (or not realistic at all)? Any guidance here is greatly appreciated.
