Two excellent conferences from
@StatsBomb
and
@catapultsports
this week in London - organisers on both sides put together seamless events with great talks.
Three big takeaways on the current state of analytics from the week:

The pushback from the analytics community to physical stats - in all sports not just hockey - feels like a fundamental misunderstanding of the direction analytics is going.
We should be asking how the physical and biomechanic interacts with tactics and player value.
Listen I love stats and information & it rarely hurts, but I need every NHL broadcast to know that I have NEVER wondered how many miles a skater has traveled or what their average speed was during a game

Its come to my attention someone has created a fake instagram account of me and is DM'ing academy-aged players offering them trials at Inter Miami.
I no longer work at Inter Miami but this is not something I or anyone at Inter Miami would ever do to recruit young players.

Had a great time on
@chrisgill_UK

It was inevitable that we were going to start seeing clubs identify the value of hiring someone from the analytics world as a Sporting Director.
Hard to think of anyone better placed and prepared to make that jump than
@Mladen_Sormaz
- congratulations!
🤝 Barnsley Football Club is pleased to confirm the appointment of Mladen Sormaz as our new Sporting Director, the first appointment of its kind in the Club’s history.

Mark was one of the people who embraced data the most at the club and challenged us to improve when the data wasn't giving us what we needed.
I learned so much from working with him and sure he will be a huge asset to where ever he ends up next!
My time with
@InterMiamiCF
has come to an end. I wish everyone involved with the club the best of luck moving forward. Looking forward to taking some down time before starting the next project.

An amazing achievement for Austin and in particular
@BrettUttley
in his first year as a professional head coach - one of the smartest soccer minds I’ve ever worked with.
Congratulations Brett!

2. Women’s football analytics is growing at an incredible rate, for this first time this week I met aspiring analysts whose goals weren’t just working in football but specifically working in the women’s game.

I would appreciate if people could help report this account if they see it.
If you are a parent or coach of young players please take time to help them recognize fake approaches from agents or club employees!

P.S. F1 in race analysis is so cool and amazing how much of a difference they can make “in-game” relative to other sports

1. Relying on one data source to make recruitment decisions is a thing of the past - all the best modern data infrastructures are combining multiple data sources/providers.

3. We all understand communication and translation is important but the key to make big strides to data isn’t just getting decision makers onside with using data but actually refining that decision making process itself considering risk, biases, value etc.

I understand that the stats mentioned here "miles skated" and "average speed" aren't going to answer these questions. But aligning the models we use in analytics with player physical outputs and capacity are crucial in understanding how we can develop better athletes.

Last year I discovered one lap around Wembley is exactly 1km - which is fun because you can see how quickly you are gaining or losing vs all of the people running the opposite direction of you

Hard to sum up the legacy of Christine Sinclair but there is no one who has done more for Canadian soccer than her - an absolute legend.
Don't think it's an exaggeration to say without her Canada doesn't host 2015 Women's World Cup or 2026 Men's World Cup.

It's official 🇨🇦❤️
The Greatest Goalscorer of All Time is retiring from international football.

I presume eventually they would ask for money but I was just tipped off by a parent whose child said that this account had offered them a trial and follow up.
