ABOUT THE EPISODE
Craig O'Shannessy, tennis strategist, analyst for multiple Grand Slams, and New York Times contributor, joins the show to discusses how data-driven decision-making, underused tactics like serve-and-volley, and coachability separate today’s champions from the rest of the field. Cade, Eric, and Shane also analyze Seattle’s defensive-driven win in Super Bowl LX, reassess quarterback ceilings under pressure, and connect those insights to Olympic tournament design and the role of randomness in elite sports outcomes.

ABOUT THE PODCAST
Sports is a game of numbers. Wharton experts Eric Bradlow, Shane Jensen, Cade Massey, and Adi Wyner team up to tackle the world of sports, from current events to longstanding issues such as: What sports streaks are the most impressive? How do you rank the best players? Can athletes be compared across sports? Moneyball Highlights explains how decision-makers in the game can avoid the common mistakes and embrace the data. Episodes are recorded at the Wharton School.

In this clip from the Ripple Effect episode, Wharton Professor Katy Milkman explains the "fresh start effect," where time markers that signal beginnings can help us reset our relationship to our goals and ultimately help us achieve more progress.

EPISODE OVERVIEW
Wharton professor Katy Milkman explains the “fresh start effect,” a behavioral science finding showing that moments like New Year’s Day, Mondays, and major life changes increase motivation to pursue long-term goals. She discusses why this motivation fades, how present bias affects decisions, and why tools like automation, defaults, and planning are more effective than willpower alone. She also talks about how organizations can use timing to encourage positive behavior change and how AI may support goal follow-through.
