Statistical analysis is a valuable tool that any profession can use in order to figure out what's going right or what needs to be fixed.  Looking at the data gathered by the International Council of Sport Science and Physical Education (ICSSPE) is important in our work to support the need for physical education in schools and the need for our children to get more physical activity in their daily lives.  It shows us the hard truth about the amount of activity our students (especially girls) are getting on a regular basis. 
 As an athlete, looking at personal stats tells us what areas we are the strongest and where we need to do more work.  Any sports fan looks regularly to evaluate how a favorite team or player is doing.  Statistics are part of our everyday lives so why not use it to improve our professional lives.

Good points about stats. Do you feel like you have a good handle on how to analyze stats, etc.? Were any of the tools useful or do you envision them being useful down the road?
