Data-Driven Decisions
📋 What it is
Use data to choose between options instead of guessing.
🗣️ Coach says
Data turns a guess into a decision. Which bus is faster? Track the times and compare the means. Which snack sells best? Count sales. Letting the numbers — not just a hunch — guide the choice is a life skill.
🧠 Memory hook
Let the DATA decide. Compare the numbers, then choose — a hunch is a hypothesis, not proof.

✅ Quick check: Two routes to school: one averages 12 min, the other 15. Which does the data favour?
Say your answer out loud first — then reveal.
The 12-minute route — the lower average time is the data-backed choice.
Comparing the means lets data, not a guess, drive the decision.
