Social Network Analysis in Sport Research
Social network analysis is a methodological tool used to investigate social networks, or collections of individuals, groups, or organizations and their shared relationships. Sport researchers increasingly have applied social network analysis to a variety of sport contexts, from team interactions among players and coaches to tailgating among fans to mega sporting events and their organizers and other stakeholders.
