A team from the Sport Analytics program in Falk College recently appeared on the “Identity Abroad with Syracuse Abroad” podcast to discuss the upcoming immersion trip to Italy for the “Italian Football: Impact and Outcomes” course that explores how data is revolutionizing soccer.
For the podcast, sport analytics major Zachary Silverstein ’26 was joined by Program Coordinator Jackie Dorchester and Francesco Riverso, the Director of Corporate Partnerships and External Engagement in Falk College who helped create the trip to Italy as program manager for Sport Analytics.
To listen to the podcast, visit the Identity Abroad web page (S2 E5).
Silverstein, Dorchester, and Riverso discuss the success of last year’s inaugural trip through Rome, Milan, Florence, and Bologna and what’s new for this year. They talk with student host Sebastian Talib ’25 about once-in-a-lifetime professional opportunities, opening international sport to Falk students, and, of course, amazing Italian food!
