Power 100: Methodology
This article is for subscribers only.
CSE, an integrated sports and marketing firm in Atlanta, and Horrow Sports Ventures developed the 2012 edition of the Power 100 ranking of the most powerful athletes in professional sports. Using the same methodology for the third consecutive year, the ranking comprises only professional athletes playing in the United States. Coaches, executives, owners, agents, and even retired athletes were not considered. Only regular season statistics were used.
An athlete’s ranking is comprised of on-field attributes (50 percent) and off-field attributes (50 percent) to develop an overall ranking.
