Do the Little Things Right
That’s a pretty good way to go right? Isn’t that what coaches teach their athletes? Do the little things right? Fully extend on that particular lift. Cut all the way through to the left on that one gap. Make sure you get all the way to this spot on the floor before you make your […]
Ticket Analytics
Ticket analytics involves analyzing changes in ticket prices over time. Ticket price changes occur over time for a variety of reason and there are many tools and services you can use to track those changes, including two different websites I’ll mention here in a moment.

College Football Bowl Games
I received this email the other day with the subject line “Bowl Games: Better In Person” reminding me to buy tickets for my college football team’s bowl game (and that bowl games are better in person).

Thinking about being a great opponent regardless of the score and congratulating your foe, being a great teammate regardless of yours or other’s mistakes, and being truly appreciative of the […]
The Definition of Sport
