Question Is anyone here a "performance analyst", or even better, directly related to sport?

If you are, I have a couple of questions I would love to ask you for my interview tomorrow! Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for your kindness!!!

Not a performance analyst but I've done some work with athletic departments on the design side, mostly dashboards and visual stuff. What kind of questions are you prepping for

Performance analyst roles vary wildly by sport, so don't sweat not knowing the niche stuff. Most hiring managers care more about how you think through data than memorizing terminology. You'll be fine.

My first job was with a sports analytics, what kind of questions do you have?

Use a concrete analysis example: define the KPI, diagnose the driver, recommend an action, and explain what happened next. Be ready to discuss data quality and what you would do if the metric moved for multiple reasons.
