About Statzhub
The inspiration for Statzhub came from a dad who wanted to follow his daughter playing college lacrosse. What should have been a simple search proved to be complex and time consuming as he had to gather information from over 13 different sites to find all of the content on his daughter. After assembling all of this content and spending hours compiling those stats and content to help her see how she stacked up against other athletes in her sport (1v1 feature), he realized how beneficial gathering all of this content by athlete or team would be to any fan. And the idea for Statzhub was formulated. Atwww.statzhub.com, the company gathers the latest from reporters, team pages, conference sites, news outlets, social media and other fans to make the sports news you want available in real time in one arena.
