Talking Data with Tej Seth

Tej Seth is a rising star in the football analytics community. He’s the newest data scientist at SumerSports, a prominent contributor to football analytics Twitter, and his group was recognized as an honorable mention at the 2023 Big Data Bowl. 

I learned a lot from Tej during this conversation about how to think about data, what he looks for when watching a game, and the importance of associating your work with a personal brand.
