The Sports Science and Analytics Collective was started by Natalie Kupperman and Stephen Baek, faculty at the University of Virginia's School of Data Science. Finding mutual interests to understand human movement and performance through video, wearables, and other technologies, an initiative to integrate ideas formed. The effort of understanding human movement and sports science is one meant for team science; therefore, the concept of the Collective came to fruition. The Collective is a blend of research and practical application. It is a means for collaboration, idea exchange, and resource-sharing for UVA faculty, staff, students, and the broader sports science & analytics community.
