Media/Reader Praise For Chasing Perfection

Doug Farrar, NFL writer, SI.com

Ben Alamar, Director of Sports Analytics, ESPN

Ryan Resch, Baylor graduate assistant, sports analytics and data

Freddie Coleman, ESPN Radio

Jay Bilas, ESPN basketball analyst
“Every player hears about working and playing hard, but the game is rewarding those that work and play smart. Chasing Perfection is a terrific look at how every level of the game, from high school to the pros, is taking advantage of cutting-edge technology and new strategies to find and develop better players, teams, and game plans.”

Fran Fraschilla, ESPN basketball analyst
“Andy Glockner takes you on a fascinating and entertaining look inside the world of basketball analytics. Whether you are ‘old school’ or ‘new school’, you will know a lot more about the game of basketball than you did before.”

Doug Gottlieb, CBS Sports Network/CBS Radio
“If you love basketball and you love learning about how basketball is evolving, this is the book for you. Throwing around the term ‘analytics’ sounds cool, but what if you really knew how math and science are playing roles in perfecting the game? Chasing Perfection nails this, in depth and in timely fashion.”
