On The Numbers: Investigating The Other Side of Sports

Matt Gilbert

Thank you for your interest in my podcast: On The Numbers! My name is Matt. Over the past three years, I have been the color and PA announcer for my high school's football, volleyball, and lacrosse (both men's and women's) teams. In school, I have always been interested in math due to its analytical nature. So, to combine these passions, I created a podcast about sports analytics. Come with me as we explore this fairly new but quickly growing field. You will also enjoy conversations with coaches and experts in different sports and related industries!
