Summary

The main goal of this project was to prove our hypothesis that increased stress leads to poorer game performance in college basketball players. We first created a Structural Equation Model (SEM) using survey and tracking data to capture the relationship between three latent variables: physical readiness, emotional readiness, and game_performance. The SEM confirmed our hypothesis and showed that players who were more physically and emotionally ready tended to perform better in games.

Next, we build a second SEM model with only physical and emotional readiness and used extracted the predicted scores from this model. We then built a dashboard to track emotional readiness for each player over time.
