The Data Coach

Pushkin Industries
About this episode

We explore the quantitative, scientific, and data-driven new frontier of coaching. 

  • Major League baseball is undergoing a coaching revolution from old-school to new tech. We talk to players whose careers were turned around not by a charismatic coach, but by data, and the techies who coach them.
  • We see how data coaching is creeping into the workspace with a computerized conversation coach that has pinned the successful sales pitch down to a science.
