Everyday Encounter With Data

I would venture to say that I encounter data a lot in my everyday life with being a
college football player. There are 2 main encounters I believe I come into contact with
on a daily basis, the first is percentage breakdowns and tendencies of the opponent I
play for the week. I watch anywhere from 1 to 4 hours of film a day when I do, I am
breaking down the film by the percentage of times the defense does something in
order to allow me to know when blitzes and stunts are coming before they happen.
The second way I believe I encounter data on a daily basis is with the new NIL rules
companies want to see how well of a job I am doing in promoting their business, so
when I get on my social media apps I can track the number of impressions and
encounters other people have with my posts in order to have a general idea of when I
should be posting content.
