My journey began at 16, not in a lab, but on the court with a whistle at Balonmano Corazonistas. Coaching a team of 13 and 14-year-olds, I wasn't just teaching tactics; I was asking questions.
"Why do we win? Does momentum exist? Should I play a fast or a slow game against this team?"
To answer these questions, I didn't turn to intuition, I turned to code. I started developing web scrapers and basic scripts to analyze our rivals. What started as a personal tool to help my cadets win games has evolved into Eventum: a quest to bring professional-grade analytics to every coach.
