Testimonials
“I was blown away by my experience at the SABR Analytics Conference in Phoenix thanks to the Yoseloff Scholarship. I took away a notebook of knowledge related to the game, new professional connections, and a cohort of fellow scholarship winners that I plan to keep in touch with throughout our careers.”
“Being awarded the Yoseloff Scholarship allowed to be able to attend the SABR Analytics Conference and network with professionals in Major League Baseball. It also allowed me to meet peers who are in similar places in their career and has grown my support network from that realm. These connections, and attending the conference, encouraged me to broaden my scope of how I think about baseball.”
“Getting to be a Sarah Langs Women in Baseball Analytics Scholarship recipient was so special to me because not only was I honoring someone I really admired, but I also found an amazing group of peers and mentors as well. The SABR Analytics Conference helped me learn more about analytics, network with analysts, and also allowed me to connect with an amazing support network of women who have already broken into the field.”
“Receiving the Sarah Langs Women in Baseball Analytics Scholarship was a huge moment in my journey working in sports. Attending the SABR Analytics Conference allowed me to connect with industry leaders and gain invaluable knowledge, and the experience gave me the confidence and tools to grow. I encourage other women to apply for this scholarship — it’s an incredible opportunity to learn, network, and strengthen your presence in the world of sports analytics.”
“The SABR Analytics Conference was a great environment for meeting my future boss with the Arizona Diamondbacks. The grad program allowed us to compete at the Diamond Dollars Case Competition. It was all about developing skills and applying them to your work.”
“For me, the SABR Analytics Conference was a start of me being able to pursue a career in professional baseball. During my four days there, I was able to meet many MLB employees and executives, listen to different panels and presentations, and meet others just like myself seeking to enter the industry. Today, I am still good friends with lots of people from that group, many of whom are working in the industry. The networking opportunities were tremendous because I was able to start and build my own network within the industry.”
