Thank you to Women in Sports Tech, Inc. for building a community of individuals committed to creating lasting change in the sports tech world. Although this part of its story comes to a close, its influence in changing the ratio will continue to ripple through the industry, impacting companies like Sports Reference for decades to come. Since we partnered with WiST in 2021, we have: - Hosted 3 WiST Fellows on our engineering and product teams - Hired 2 former WiST Fellows as interns on our data and marketing teams - Hired 1 former WiST Fellow as a full-time employee All we've accomplished in the past few years has been supported by the connections made by and skills fostered by WiST. As a result of our partnership with WiST, some other benefits have been: - Higher employee engagement, as some of our full-time employees have found fulfillment as mentors to WiST Fellows - Improved quality of candidates in our talent pool, by posting our open roles on the WiST NETWORK job board And most importantly, a company culture where people know we're committed to making the sports tech industry a more equitable and inclusive place. At Sports Reference, we reaffirm our efforts toward supporting women and non-binary individuals entering the industry. We're grateful to have partnered with Women in Sports Tech and been a part of the community. We look forward to seeing past Fellows — and all those inspired by WiST's mission — continue to make an impact on the industry. #ChangeTheRatio #WomeninSportsTech

Formally introduced in 2019 by Mitch Goldich, the octopus is a stat where someone scores a touchdown and the following two-point conversion on the same drive. We worked with Mitch to get this on the site and ensure that each octopus was accounted for. 🐙 Recently, Mitch spoke with Mike Lynch, our Executive Director of Data, during his Octopus of the Year article on Sports Illustrated. They discussed how the stat got on Pro Football Reference, and how these fun statistics add another level of enjoyment to the game.

If you've checked out your favorite players' pages on Basketball Reference, you may have wondered where their nicknames come from. Whether it's "Captain LeMerica" or "Himothee Chalamet," our team reviews credible sources to add these nicknames to the site throughout a player's career. Our Data Developer, Charlotte Eisenberg, recently spoke with Tom Dierberger at Sports Illustrated about some of these nicknames and the stories they tell about NBA players.
