Ask HN: How do engineers get into the Sports business space?

[xbeta]

Hey all,

I am a huge European football (soccer) fan and also worked in this industry for many years as SWE. In the past few months, I have been not that motivated to work on the product at work and want a fresh start. I would like to combine engineering/data science + soccer, and hopefully I can work on something that I have a strong passion about, and also combining love + work together.

Is anyone having similiar background and can give advice where to start?
