If you have seen previous episodes, you may have noticed that this data has been mentioned a few times and so I thought it would be a good idea to get Craig on and discuss in a bit more detail.Interestingly, before Craig got into this, he was a first team analyst within football clubs. He actually took the bold decision to leave that role after some changes in circumstances. We speak about that move, work/life balance and how the role of the analyst has (and continues to) change.Craig also shares his screen mid way through and gives a real life example of how football recruitment departments may use the tracking data to get insights about new recruits.0:00 - Introduction2:36 - Craig joins and gives overview, interning at Swansea9:27 - Unpaid work, internships12:45 - Being analyst at Brighton & Hove Albion16:35 - How the analyst role has changed19:00 - Norwich City, and relationships with other staff28:35 - Work/Life balance, leaving the analyst role36:25 - Working a 'normal job' outside of football41:16 - Telestrations43:30 - Skill Corner, Craig's current role, tracking data50:54 - Using tracking in recruitment (including screen share)1:03:58 - Different types of player runs1:07:10 - Advice for analysts, work experience1:12:09 - What's next within tracking data1:15:27 - Book recommendations, wrap up, Euro 2024 final predictionsRelevant VideosTom Worville: https://youtu.be/F9z-V4g3dh8Sarah Rudd: https://youtu.be/oDMbRuYEEQcSam Gregory: https://youtu.be/x-aDJXkYOOEEwan Sharp Tactical Breakdwn: https://youtu.be/gw9-cqEYKIQ Phill Hudson: https://youtu.be/KZ2tlAmhmaU Books MentionedThe Data Game: https://amzn.to/4cZV72UHow to win the Premier League: https://youtu.be/gw9-cqEYKIQThe smell of football: https://amzn.to/3zS648d◽️◽️◽️◽️◽️◽️CONNECT WITH ME🌎 Website: https://www.chris-gill.com 👨🏼‍💻 LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/chrisgilluk/ 🎙️ Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/5ZocCdjxjdVJZjO4UNNNew 🆇 X/Twitter: https://x.com/chrisgill_UK FREE RESOURCES📋 Football CV Template – https://cvtemplate.chris-gill.com/download 📝 Cover Letter Template - https://coverletter.chris-gill.com/download 📚 Ultimate list of sports analysis/coaching books - https://books.chris-gill.com/download PAID RESOURCES🐍 Learn PYTHON for football analysis – https://courses.mckayjohns.com/courses/football-analytics-course?ref=3f7c5c ⚽️ Football Analysis Education (Gill10 for 10% off) – https://apfa.io/course/ref/chrisgill_UK/ 📊 Become a data analyst with Data Camp: https://datacamp.pxf.io/WqBZGA
