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 - Introduction 2:36 - Craig joins and gives overview, interning at Swansea 9:27 - Unpaid work, internships 12:45 - Being analyst at Brighton & Hove Albion 16:35 - How the analyst role has changed 19:00 - Norwich City, and relationships with other staff 28:35 - Work/Life balance, leaving the analyst role 36:25 - Working a 'normal job' outside of football 41:16 - Telestrations 43:30 - Skill Corner, Craig's current role, tracking data 50:54 - Using tracking in recruitment (including screen share) 1:03:58 - Different types of player runs 1:07:10 - Advice for analysts, work experience 1:12:09 - What's next within tracking data 1:15:27 - Book recommendations, wrap up, Euro 2024 final predictions Relevant Videos Tom Worville:    • Building a career in football analytics - ...   Sarah Rudd:    • Pioneering football analytics (Arsenal FC)...   Sam Gregory:    • Director of Analytics at US Soccer - Sam G...   Ewan Sharp Tactical Breakdwn:    • Elite coach/analyst gives pre-match presen...   Phill Hudson:    • 10 Years at the same club! - Phill Hudson ...   Books Mentioned The Data Game: https://amzn.to/4cZV72U How to win the Premier League:    • Elite coach/analyst gives pre-match presen...   The smell of football: https://amzn.to/3zS648d ◽️◽️◽️◽️◽️◽️ PAID RESOURCES 💻 Video Analysis Software (GILL20 for 20% off) - https://in-playsports.com/software/in... 📊 Learn data skills with Data Camp: https://datacamp.pxf.io/WqBZGA
