The amount of soccer analytics content has spiked in 2020. My latest blog post lists the research papers, blog posts, news articles, events, invited talks, webinars, podcasts, Python libraries and newsletters that I liked the most!

1 year ago I was struggling to find a job in BI. Then I decided to take a shot at the student Data Bowl even though I thought I had no chance. Now I work for an NFL team.

If you have sports analytics aspirations (in any sport) then you need to participate.
