Make sure you've completed the corresponding chapter before attempting exercises. Understanding the concepts will make problem-solving much easier.
Attempt each exercise on your own before looking at hints or solutions. Struggling through problems builds deeper understanding than copying answers.
After solving an exercise, try modifying it. Use different players, seasons, or metrics. This reinforces learning and builds real analysis skills.
