From Stats to Stories: Create Your First Sports Data Story
Sports generate billions of data points every season. Almost none of them become stories worth sharing.
In this free, hands-on workshop, you'll learn the Data Punk Media storytelling framework and put it to work immediately using a real sports dataset as your proving ground. No advanced stats background required. No coding. Just a sharp question, the right data, and a framework that turns numbers into narratives.
What you'll walk away with:
A clear understanding of what makes a data story and what makes one forgettable.
A proven process for moving from raw data to a story hypothesis.
Your own documented story idea, ready to develop.
Hands-on experience with a real sports dataset you can keep using.
We'll explore the Data Punk Media lifecycle framework (from data sourcing and exploratory analysis all the way to narrative structure) and work through a live case study together. What does the data actually say? And more importantly, how do you train yourself to find stories like that in any sport, any dataset?
This is part 1 of a free 3-part series from Data Punk Media. Each session builds on the last by the end of the series, you'll have taken a story all the way from raw data to a publishable piece.
Who this is for: Aspiring sports data storytellers, content creators, analysts, and anyone who wants to turn sports stats into content people actually share.
