Run your reps.
Climb the depth
chart.

A self-paced data curriculum that takes you from SELECT * to a deployed analytics app, using every game of the Dan Campbell era (2021–present) as the substrate and a football-org hierarchy as the level progression.

33 lessons · 42 challenges · 5 capstones · ~270K rows of real Lions data.

The depth chart

Level 1 — Analyst

Pull stats on request. SELECT, WHERE, ORDER BY, basic aggregates. Capstone: a 2024 season recap notebook.

Level 2 — Position coach

Develop a position group. JOIN, GROUP BY, HAVING. Capstone: a WR efficiency scouting card.

Level 3 — Head coach

Situational decisions. Window functions, CTEs, scipy, plotly. Capstone: a 4th-down decision EV analyzer.

Level 4 — General manager

Roster construction. Schema design, scikit-learn, dbt basics. Capstone: a draft-pick value model.

Level 5 — Owner

Franchise strategy. FastAPI + Next.js, end to end. Capstone: a live app at app.1pride.app.

Why this works

Stakes you actually care about. Lions football, Dan Campbell era. Domain familiarity removes the friction of pretending to care about a fake dataset.

A clean unlock loop. Each level has a capstone you ship — you advance because the artifact is real, not because a week passed.

A natural seniority arc. Analyst pulls stats. Position Coach compares groups. Head Coach makes situational calls. GM builds models. Owner ships the platform. The org chart is the curriculum.
