Level 1 · Analyst

Identity. You pull stats on request. You answer factual questions about what happened.

You are the entry-level voice in the room. Someone asks “who led the Lions in rushing in Week 7?” and you have a query and a clean answer in under a minute.

SQLPython
SELECT, WHERE, ORDER BYpandas basics, read_csv
LIMIT, DISTINCTfiltering with .loc and boolean masks
Basic aggregates (SUM, AVG, COUNT, MAX)simple matplotlib plots

Lions 2024 season recap notebook. Weekly leaders, defensive standouts, week-over-week changes. One notebook, runnable end to end, with prose between cells explaining what each query tells you.

  1. Clear 8 of 10 stat-lookup challenges below.
  2. Ship the season recap notebook with at least one chart per category (offense, defense, special teams).

Lessons run in order. Each one is 5-10 minutes.

  1. Your first SELECT
