project

My project is performance data analysis in soccer as a tool to assess player performance. This is interesting to me because I love soccer and I like math so both things combined is like heaven.

This is a growing field that I am interested in and I want to get to know more about it. The goal of the project is to get a good understanding of what is going on at the moment and seeing what more can be done about it. It should be an interesting project for me and I am already having a good time exploring through this.

I plan on getting started by doing research. I have already started finding books related to the material and have started reading it. I could then find people to contact and find more about through the resources i have. Dr bill has told me that he knows a few people who could help and maybe that will do. I will have a better sense of what i want to do after i finish my books.

This project will help me because this is what i see myself doing in the future. Data analytics is something that I have been interested in for a while and I want to get to know more about it. That combined with my passion for the game made me think that this is what I should spend my time on. On the other hand, I hope my work can have an impact on the field and hopefully help develop it.

There are a couple sources that I found really helpful. I would say opta is a really interesting site and it gave me a bit of insight. I also found a couple youtube videos that I found really helpful. There are also articles on this subject because it is an emerging topic. I would say the collective of these gave me a good sense of what i am getting into and I just want to develop upon that.

This is what I anticipate needing for my project: a place to take notes and maybe a couple people’s contacts to know more about this topic. I will work hard to figure out as much about this topic as i can.
