About the Book
Agentic Sport Analytics covers the full pipeline from raw footage to a defended coaching decision: the evidence contract, capture and calibration, detection and tracking, trajectory recovery, event data, ratings and expected value, vision-language models, and the agent harness that binds them.
Written with AI assistance using an agentic publishing pipeline. The author directed, reviewed, and approved all content. Technical review by Claude Opus 4.6 and Gemini 3.1 Pro. Free for personal use under a personal use license.
The book includes 34 chapters, 600+ figures, and a running laboratory of 20 experiments measured on two real sports — pickleball as the fixed-camera baseline, rugby league as the moving-camera stress test. Whether you’re a coach who needs defensible numbers, an analyst building the pipeline, or an engineer shipping sport AI, this book provides the evidence discipline and practical workflows you need.
“No run, no dossier. Every number that reaches a coach must trace back to an observation someone can re-run.”
