About

Welcome to Bounce Back Sports. I'm a fifth year software engineering major at RIT and avid NBA fan whose athletic career was cut short by a compound fracture in my ankle that occurred during a basketball game in my senior year of high school.

My education in software engineering and passion for the NBA led to the creation of Bounce Back Sports, a website dedicated to NBA injuries and a player's road to recovery. This site is solely dedicated to injuries and their impact on a player's subsequent career. Here I merge analytics, medicine, and metrics to analyze a wide range of NBA injuries from the year 2000 forward. I hope you enjoy the site and have as much fun using it as I had creating it.
