Maddy Brown, better known as WNBA Data, joins us to talk WNBA playoffs, making statistics interesting, what the numbers can (and can’t) tell us about sports, and the growing role of data in women’s sports.
Then we bring it back to skateboarding: an industry that has historically relied less on data and more on “seems right,” and look at the value women and gender-expansive skaters may be creating that the industry isn’t measuring. What data are we missing, what questions should we be asking, and what could the numbers tell us about the bigger story of skateboarding?
