The start of a new year often encourages people to set motivating, yet often unrealistic, resolutions, telling them to stop doing this and that in the upcoming year. However, for me, I see it as an opportunity to set myself a challenge, do something new, and discover new possibilities. This is why I have decided to start a blog on 1st January 2020.

Granted, it will not be perfect, as nothing is on the first attempt, however I see this as an exciting challenge to progress in, whilst developing my writing, through combining themes which I have a passion for – Sports and Analytics.

I am a sports fanatic. Having played sport since the age of 4, and constantly watching sports on TV, I jump on any possibilities for it to come up in conversations, and therefore, feel it is appropriate that I base my blog around it. I have always had an interest in knowing interesting facts and statistics in sport, which I hopefully will be providing in my future pieces.

As mentioned above, this will be a learning process for me, one in which I am excited for. I am a firm believer that the best way to improve in anything is acknowledging and accepting advice from those with greater experience, and so I would appreciate any comments regarding any of my blogs, and any topic areas which you would like me to cover.

And finally I should introduce myself – Tom Rollinson – a University student, who has developed a passion for analytics, and as mentioned before, a sports lover.
