Is AI ready for data analysis as well as collection? What makes a visualisation compelling for an athlete or coach? And how can analysts make better use of their time? We addressed these questions and more at the 2024 StatsBomb Conference.<\/p>\n \n \n \n

\n

The 2024 StatsBomb Conference took place at Old Trafford in Manchester in October and the Leaders Performance Institute was in attendance.<\/h6>\n

We spoke to the great and the good of the football analytics world, including three people speaking that day, about their thoughts on data & analytics in football, from recruitment and time management to analysis and AI.<\/p>\n

Coming up for you, we have:<\/p>\n

Liam Henshaw<\/strong>, a Data Analyst & First Team Scout with Hearts, who discusses his efforts to balance two roles at the Scottish Premiership club, and the constant need for context in application.<\/p>\n

Will Thomson<\/strong>, a Data Analyst with Hudl StatsBomb, whose research is guided by the nuances of football.<\/p>\n

Sam Gregory<\/strong>, the Director of Data Analytics at US Soccer, whose senior teams are preparing for World Cups in 2026 and 2027, including an edition on home soil in the men\u2019s competition.<\/p>\n

Simon Farrant<\/strong>, Director of Strategic Growth \u2013 Sports Data & Officiating, at Deltatre, who spoke about recruitment in the context of game models and team strategies, where compelling stories are a must.<\/p>\n
