To infinity and beyond… what’s next for Sports Analytics.

My first blog post.. https://t.co/Ztf7xyhKBk

@_dogegod_ There’s nothing bullish about it.

It won’t even hit $1. It is currently sat at 25cents where it has been for a considerable amount of time. It peaked at 61 cents in May of 2021. Take the platform fees and transaction cost out and it is a neutral trade <at best>.

So proud of my son - he’s recently taken a knock in confidence with football; so we sat down and reviewed @veotechnologies clips together and played back some of his best goals and clips. It is really tough to see your child struggle but I know it’ll make him stronger ⚽️❤️

Great bit of work by the excellent @loulangdown ~ Which Academies produce the most England national team players?

On most metrics, Chelsea's Academy, built by Neil Bath and Jim Fraser, is outstanding.

They're top here and also top by some distance in our annual Academy Productivity Rankings

@Rob6smith Must be bad if you’ve lost the faith!

Leadership

All good leaders get tested and the human cost can be significant. Whether the wounds are physical; mental or other, being a Leader for me has always come at a cost. How we manage that is one of life’s great challenges

Be kind & most importantly be kind to yourself

Tricky time for #wafc - I don’t think many are expecting miracles post takeover. But me and my son are really struggling to get up for the games. I hope they turn it around; football is a simple game, throw caution to the wind? Maybe play a striker or two up front at home?

FT Latics 0 Wycombe 1.
As bad as the first half was, the second half was good. Could, absolutely should, have produced an equaliser. But Latics continue to struggle in front of goal and it's proving so costly. #wafc

Very interesting press conference from Eddie Howe at #nufc. Touches on subjects like utilisation of a Sporting Director & Club Finances. Press Conferences with Managers have changed so much in modern times. Everything is under the spotlight these days. Game has changed so much.

“Nobody likes a leader who hasn’t done the job…”

Great statement from @JasonAWeber & @darrenburgess25 on their Two Coaches and a Coffee podcast

My opinion: Before you scramble up the leadership ladder (& associated titles) spend time DOING the job!

[David Eccles @David_Eccles]

@anna_dawe Wow! — Great results @anna_dawe - well done to you and all the staff at @wiganleighcol

[David Eccles @David_Eccles]

Don’t come on here often or post #wafc related things. But have to say I thought @JJordanjones11 was absolute levels out there today. To come in last minute and show that quality was class. Top, top wing play, beat his man every time on the inside and outside. Joy to watch.

@anna_dawe @alisonrushton @WiganYouthZone @AndyBurnhamGM @Spk61 Well done to all involved - great day. Lovely to meet like minded people & hear insights on the great work going on.
