That's not how forecasting works.

Wait until the presidential elections.   They can predict the winner in each state with just a slight percentage of votes.   That's not to say there is a certainty but with high probability.    Sports analytics are the same.   It still uses the past data to help prepare for the future with a higher probability.   Statistics are nothing new but can and often are misunderstood.  

Most major sports teams use analytics to their advantage.    There is a doctor from Detroit that helped the Nationals with their sleep cycle.   Using past data, she suggested bed time, meal time, turn off electronics time, sleep time and they thought enough of her methods to utilize her data most of the season.

Not exactly, no.

It's more that future events take more than ONE event. Normally solid reliever gives up a home run to a normally shaky hitter… fluke, but not completely unlikely.

      My Swing (GolfLug)

      By GolfLug · Posted

      Tale of two swings.  Swing 1: Slightly outside takeaway (hands move outside of target line) only to allow trail elbow over collapsing at P4. Doesn't take much to overdo it for the trail elbow collapse to only further exaggerate. That's death. Swing 2: Hands stay slight in at takeaway for a much better trail elbow condition at P4. This is a hard sell from an instinct perspective. More focus on un-weighting and re-weighting of lead foot to unlock a bit more mobility of hips and torso. A major flaw that creeps up often is me swinging flat footed and becoming overly armsy-collapsy as a result. Got reminded of this the hard way during my 2nd round match for club net championship. Was cruising along 2up until I made the turn. Then lost the swing for next five holes. Andy was playing good enough to capitalize. By the time I regained my swing on 16th, it was too late. Even Andy was like "That was a gift". Obviously that stings because have played well enough lately. Should have closed him out of the game comfortably with a few holes to spare. Shoulda woulda coulda. Tough lesson. Damn. P.S. I know the swings look very similar but trust me there is a difference.
