A buffet of problems in sports analytics

This talk explores some work that I have done and some topics that you may find interesting with respect to statistics in sport. I plan on discussing a number of problems with almost no discussion of technical details. Some of the sports include hockey, cricket, highland dance, soccer and golf.
