Sports analyst
A sports analyst is a person looking through technical, tactical, physiological, and psychological performance metrics working with the sports coach and sports science team to improve athlete performance. They will often use video motion analysis to help with data collection. Sports commentators or journalists also analyze elements of sports performance, for media companies to use for tactical analysis.
A sports analyst may perform different jobs within the field and may even hold more than one position at once. A sports journalist reports to the public in the form of writing and includes information about sporting topics, events, and competitions. A sports commentator and sportscaster give play-by-play details of a specific sporting event and game. They also relay information necessary to understand the context of that specific sport. Notable sports commentators include Joe Buck, Brent Musburger, and Max Kellerman.
Sports analysts are typically former athletes and coaches from their respective sports. Sometimes, a sports analyst will cover a sport, even though they have not played that sport previously. An example is Brad Daugherty, who played professional basketball but covers NASCAR racing.
Up until the early 1800s, sports journalism was reserved for the social elite. The high price of newspapers made it so only those of high economic status could afford it. Due to the invention of the penny press and the adoption of mass production throughout the United States, newspapers became more affordable. With newspapers more widely accessible, the demand for sports journalism quickly began to rise.[citation needed]
Henry Chadwick is one of the earliest recorded sports analysts. Chadwick is acknowledged for his many contributions to baseball statistics. He created box scores in addition to the statistics of batting average and earned run average (ERA).
Before his invention, sports columnists resorted to tallying runs scored. Chadwick’s baseball box score was based on the cricket scorecard. It debuted in an issue of the Clipper in 1859. The scorecard was a 9x9 grid. Chadwick had numbers representing defensive positions and this method of scorekeeping is present to this day.[when?]
During the 1900s, baseball became the national pastime of the United States. Media coverage of sports rapidly increased, specifically in New York. The first newspapers with a reoccurring sports section and a dedicated sports department were the New York Herald and The New York respectively.
In the mid to late 1800s, newspapers only dedicated 0.4 percent of their page to sports or sports-related topics. A little over a half-century later, that percentage rose to 20 percent.
