Hi everyone

I am a 19 year old sports fan, who loves data and statistics almost as much as sports, and have a dream of making it into my full-time job. However, I’m not sure how to really get into it, and I don’t know coding. Therefore, I wanted to hear from people with experience, how do I start with sports data analytics, and do you have any tips for learning coding? I have read around a bit, and python seems to be the most optimal language to learn, but is that correct and why?

Thank you for reading, any tips or help is much appreciated :)
