Masterclass | From Talent to Algorithms: Data-Driven Sports - San Jose

How data science is transforming performance, strategy, and decision-making in modern sports

Sports are undergoing a profound transformation. What was once driven primarily by intuition and experience is now enhanced by advanced analytics, mathematical modeling, and artificial intelligence.

In this in-person masterclass, Dae-Jin Lee, Professor at IE University’s School of Science and Technology, will explore how data science is reshaping the way athletes train, compete, and make strategic decisions.

Through real-world research examples, the session will examine applications in performance analysis, injury prevention, athletic longevity, and strategic planning in sports organizations.

This masterclass reflects IE University’s focus on preparing professionals for leadership in data-driven and technology-driven environments.
