Statistics that fail independent corroboration are excluded.

Sports organisations are preparing for a skills reset as 2025 projections point to major shifts in how roles are filled, trained, and upgraded. That matters because the same job titles in sport can require very different capabilities as data tools, coaching science, and fan platforms change. The statistics behind upskilling and reskilling reveal a sharper mismatch than most teams expect between where talent sits and where it needs to go next.
