It wasn't until she was ready for a new challenge (after a relegation with Reading FC) that she sent in her application for a hockey analyst position.Well, as they say, the rest is history. Not only does Amber know plenty about hockey these days, she was also at the Rio Olympics helping the GB Women's team secure a Gold medal! She has been able to travel the world with her job and is kind enough to share her experiences and also give some great advice for those looking to follow in a similar path.If you have any questions for myself or Amber, please do not hesitate to leave comment below. That being after you have liked the video and subscribed to the channel!Thanks for watching, and thanks again to Amber for taking the time out to join me!◽️◽️◽️◽️◽️◽️⏱️ TIMESTAMPS:0:00 - Introduction1:33 - Amber joins, university, intro to analysis7:22 - Reading FC, starting unpaid...11:55 - Being a female in male dominated sector15:44 - Moving to Hockey25:15 - The Olympics31:31 - This years Common Wealth Games32:21 - Progression at the EIS34:46 - Average Week, Data & Coding Hockey41:29 - Perception from players and player engagement44:51 - What Amber loves about working in sport46:50 - Advice for aspiring analysts...50:22 - Interviewing for Jobs55:37 - Books & Podcasts Amber is currently into◽️◽️◽️◽️◽️◽️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
