“Scanning” is the new buzz word in ⚽️
This has perpetuated a plethora of drills where players have to “check their shoulder” whilst passing in a prescribed sequence (back and forth, or a-b-c).
Here is a short thread explaining why this doesn’t work IMO 👇

Why are they scanning?
The concept of scanning is to pick up information in order to act a effectively. Therefore, there needs to be a reason why I am scanning, the best and most transferable to the game reason is an opponent

This is problematic (see 👆) b/c players are now NOT scanning for useful information, they are doing it b/c you told them to. Repetitively checking shoulder in a prescribed drill does not help attune the player to relevant info - e.g. position of opponent

Interesting take on coaching from a cognitive psychology perspective. But I would like to offer an alternate view from a different skill acquisition perspective. 🧵
First of all I think for a relatively new manager Kompany is doing a fantastic job at Burnley (keeping my @SheffieldUnited at bay!). He has clearly mastered a key component of coaching - developing and maintaining relationships - hence buy in.
1. Knowledge(K) of v Knowledge about
A lot of the info given is related to K-about. This can be useful, but the K used to control actions is knowledge of - so the def needs to develop that through repetition (w/o repetition) and exposure to those situations.

Eddie chose to apply high & mid-press and mark the ball-holder and the options for the pass, so Pep lost his progression phase.

Tactical behavior in #Football has a spatial and a temporal component, and results from interaction with the opponent. It’s key to account for all these aspects in data-driven tactical analysis, as well as to respect the complexity of the temporal and spatial dimensions 🧵
Two years ago I published a systematic review in @EurJSportSci on using big data in #soccer for tactical performance analysis that illustrates the associated challenges and provides a data-driven scientific framework. #DataScience tinyurl.com/mrxky6ca
The most common analysis issue is the fact that spatial and/or temporal complexity is not respected. For example by aggregating data over multiple minutes, or constructing spatial features aggregating 11 player positions into a single variable.
Preparing for a technical interview for a #DataScience position? These are some of the questions that typically allow me as an interviewer to quickly distinguish between juniors and mediors, including some quick tips 🧵. #Python #pythonprogramming #DataScientist #Jobs
All questions about SQL. Not the hardest thing to learn, but many #DataScientists only start to learn the value of SQL when they actually become part of a dev team. I’m not only talking about SELECT * FROM table, but also about joins, truncates, partitions and constraints.
