About StatStrat
StatStrat was created in 2022 as a brand to display the statistical findings, thoughts, and visualizations made by Nick Lacoste as part of his professional portfolio. Since its inception, StatStrat's goal has been to provide simple tools to reach useful solutions to create a competitive advantage for its clients.
StatStrat is a tool that coaches, managers, athletes, parents, and more can use to embrace a progress-based approach to athlete development.
