Exploring the Intersection of Sports and Archaeology

I’ve always been fascinated by how different fields can overlap in unexpected ways. Lately, I’ve been wondering how principles from sports could apply to archaeology. For example, teamwork and communication are huge in both whether you’re coordinating a dig site or strategizing on the field. Has anyone else found ways to borrow techniques or mindsets from sports to improve their archaeological work? Maybe endurance training for long field days or even using sports analytics to track excavation data? I’d love to hear your thoughts or experiences!
