to make it simpler, but he's a big deal at True Media.

He'll be one of the panelists at the talk coming up next Thursday at the Linda Hall Library.

In the analytics of soccer, you've worked in baseball, football, all different sports, but you are a specialist in soccer.

I was reading that you've been working the analytics on multiple different World Cups, like back when ESPN had the World Cup, a couple of men's, a woman's World Cup.

The data on soccer, how does it compare to baseball?

Baseball has always been such a stats...

And I'll be blunt, the tracking is all done from what appears to be like a sports bra that all the guys wear and all the ladies wear, right?

Everything that's tracking them is all in that little cut-off tank top, for lack of a better term.

So here's some of the things that I'm curious about.

Like, I know that we're now not only do we have all the cameras and all the minor league parks, we're now getting the cameras in like the Dominican and in places like that.

I know that's some of the advances that baseball has made so that, you know, and they're trying to get them into the showcase event stadiums where like, you know, for lack of a better term, the the youth all stars are playing so that they can really get accurate data on all that.

I know for like sporting, I know you're a sporting fan, you know, being a local guy and everything.

They obviously are, you know, trying to rebuild here.

So soccer, you're you're it's even more than baseball because you're scouting literally the entire world.

How how much data is available for soccer?

How deep down in the leagues do we have the cameras and the tracking data of?

For a team like Sporting to be able to, hey, we found a guy in Angola or we found a guy in the woods of Belgium.

How far down does the data go in the levels of soccer?

And so that means like even like high school, cause I know like, like high school football, let's say high school soccer, like, cause I believe the company huddle, which our friend Mark Borector works for, they do that kind of data for, for high school football.

Right.
