My name is Max Kalkowski, and just like you, I am a passionate sports enthusiast. From an early age, I’ve been captivated by the strategy, competition, and precision that define athletics. Over time, I began to focus not just on the games themselves, but also on the numbers behind them. Statistics tell the story of each athlete and team, allowing us to analyze performance on a deeper level.

One winter, while watching college basketball, I noticed some inconsistencies in the way teams were being ranked. It seemed that the traditional statistics being used weren't fully capturing the true performance and potential of these teams. As someone who loves both sports and data, I decided to take a deeper look. I spent hours researching the methodologies, studying game data, and identifying the weaknesses in the current ranking systems. From that research, I developed a new and improved statistic that better reflects the strengths and weaknesses of college basketball teams.

This experience reinforced my belief in the power of analytics to enhance our understanding of sports, and it further motivated me to pursue my passion for developing better sports statistics, both at the collegiate and professional levels.
