After 4 years studying BSc Information Management and Business Studies at Loughborough University, Hafeez then dedicated 1.5 years to playing football Semi-Professionally. Not satisfied with solely playing football and with the growing importance of sports analytics; Hafeez decided to pursue a career within data and fortunately came across The Data School. Following 2 months consisting of numerous hours spent on Tableau, Hafeez immediately realised his passion for data analysis; prompting him to submit an application for the DS14 cohort.
