Hi! Thanks for taking the time to check out my webpage.

As Bill Simmons stated in ‘The Book of Basketball’, “the game of basketball has nothing to do with basketball”. I couldn’t agree with it more for sports in general. People don’t pay attention to the intangibles as much as in days past. Yes, stats are a great source of information, but in my opinion, they are a result of everything that goes on in the background and in between the ears of an athlete and team.

My name is Vivek Jacob. Born in Bangalore, I crawled and walked in Doha and Dubai, before running through #The6ix since 2002. Sports has always been my passion. As the site is named, I love studying athletes and their behaviors, what makes them tick? what are the key aspects of their success?

I pay close attention to how different teams look to build and manage themselves, from the front office, to managers and coaches, to the players themselves. When you’re debating the latest sports topics with your friends, I’m going to give you more than just numbers to spew at them. That’s the thinking behind all my writing.

My favourite teams are the Indian cricket team, Manchester United, the Toronto Raptors, and the Dutch soccer team. I enjoy some baseball as well, especially the Toronto Blue Jays and the Boston Red Sox. I haven’t had to deal with them playing each other in the postseason yet, so I’ll cross that bridge when I get there!
