We used @SkillCorner data to search South America for the 'next Jhon Durán' - an uncut gem with a physical capacity beyond their age.

Including the Premier League and MLS for comparison, 2004-born Catriel Cabellos ranked first out of 683 datapoints for High Intensity Actions.

What a ride. Thank you everybody @RotherhamUnited for everything over these last three years. I have met so many incredible players and staff and made memories that will stay with me for life. I want to say a special thank you to the fans who have been so supportive since my very first day, I always gave when I pulled on that shirt. Thank you for the memories, Ollie ❤️

Analyst work/life balance, telestrations and tracking data...

Here's a little teaser for my next video with @C_Inness 👇🏼👇🏼

Craig began his journey as an analyst intern (and actually followed a similar path to me). After bagging himself a first team analyst role, and spending time working in the Premier League, he decided to leave.

Why?

Good question, and that I definitely asked Craig to expand on.

Since his time as an analyst, Craig has worked in the sports tech space and is currently with @SkillCorner.

These guys have been mentioned in a few previous episodes so it was great to learn more about the data they provide, and see a great example of how clubs might use this in a recruitment setting.

Full video out next week.

(It's a good one)

Thanks Craig, it was great to chat 👍🏼
